What are your candy strategies for the evil, up and coming holiday? I haven't purchased any. I will send my husband (bless him!) the day of and let him pass it out. I don't dump, much, and will not subject myself to grabbing and stuffing. You?

I consider myself very lucky that I dump at even the mention of sugar!   I really don't crave sweets the way I did before surgery so luckily for me, Halloween isn't going to much of an issue for me.   However, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be another story.  That's when all the snacky type foods will be out for work parties and that's my downfall.  I have to be very careful about grazing as I've found myself falling back into that bad habit.  I think my strategy will be to not contribute during food days at work.  I know that sounds terrible but I've always been the type that if I don't contribute then I don't eat what everyone else brings in.  This will keep me from eating all the goodies and to stick to the pre-planned meals/snacks that I bring for myself.

I purposely bought candy that I know I don't like for the trick or treaters. I also bought myself a pack of  SF twizzlers. Only 100 calories for 6 of them so, if I really need a sweet snack atleast I have a somewhat "healthier "option.
