This year to avoid Halloween candy I bought big packs of sparkly halloween PENCILS at Dollar Tree.  NO TEMPTATION THERE 

 

Just an idea for fellow former candy addicts   ;)

Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I  lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!

Your topic header has my reaction perfect pegged. A snorter.

I used to start "stocking up" at this time of year. Any sign of a Leaf change? Rain clouds? Pumpkins? CANDY!!!!!!!!!!!

I like sparkly pencils. Oooohhh I bet there are sparkly erasers too!

Lol^^^ I figure I can't eat pencils.  They do throw well though so I'll pass them out quick and DUCK!!!

I live in this village here in VT, and we have at minimum of 100 kids out. We have always gone really large at Halloween, haunting out our yard, and giving really good candy.... This year, I think I'm going for glow necklaces... I'm actually going on Orietal trading right now to get them..... No candy for me... I just CAN'T have it in the house.......

I may be the odd one out here, but I just bought Halloween candy at Costco yesterday - 3 giant bags with all the good stuff.

2 years ago after I had surgery I thought I would die my first Halloween, candy was always my downfall in life, or I guess you could say, my life revolved around it. I got through that Halloween without one tiny little nibble. I was so darn proud of myself! I'm hoping my 3rd Halloween since surgery will go just as well!

Now I have a candy dishe I keep stocked at work, and it doesn't bother me in the least. The Halloween candy?  It too has no effect on me, I have zero desire for it.

Thank God is all I can say!

Good luck to all you candy addicts during the up-coming months, but remember if I, the former "Queen of Candy" can stop cold turkey so too can you!
