I am TRYING to stay away from the Halloween candy!!

[latebloomer]

I LOVE chocolate but have been trying to lose some weight lately-- faithfully going to the gym but every now and then (like every weekend!) I break down and scarf down some sugar.

I was planning to buy some candy for the trick or treaters that I wouldn't be tempted by-- like Starbursts, or lollipops-- but unfortunately Reeses peanut butter cups and Kit Kat bars were on sale so I HAD to be thrifty. . .

Now I keep thinking about going downstairs and having just ONE of each (yeah, right!)

HELP ME!!!

1. Gonna be hard here. No trick-or-treaters yet n/t

3. Damn you! I have to go to the grocery store

to get cat food and coffee (the only times I go) and now I'll have to have candy.

Damn, damn, damn!

[Hog lover]

19. Yes, but I have tried to resist - no trick-or-treaters come to my house

4. Uhhh

I have no effective strategy for dealing with such a serious situation (as I finish my Milky Way). My thought and prayers are with you.

7. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was funny...................

[latebloomer]

11. MIlky Ways!!!

now THOSE are my FAVE!!

[snacker]

5. Good luck with that...

I'm a chocolate love too, so I just don't open the bags until trick-or-treating actually starts here. Our town and all neighboring ones have specific hours for trick-or-treaters.

10. I guess you are!

6. I'm always fighting to keep my weight down.

It's okay currently, but I have stay vigilant. However, I'm eatin' pizza and Halloween candy tomorrow!!! :bounce:

[latebloomer]

12. I figure tomorrow is probably a lost cause

what with two trick or treaters in the house. I like to rifle thru their bags-- luckily (?) they LIKE Starbursts and lollipops!

But it's been feeling so good lately to wake up with a (relatively) flat stomach-- but then I always have to go and blow it!!

20. The next two months are going to tbe tough.

Halloween candy. Thanksgiving, trimmings, leftover pumpkin pie, cherry pie, chocolate pie. Christmas (repeat Thanksgiving). New Years alcohol, party food.

Geez, and I was upset this morning because the scale said I weigh 1.5 pounds more than two days ago.

I've got to get this under control.

[latebloomer]

21. Oh well

But then we'll have five months to get it off before bathing suit season.

22. It's 10:21

and I still haven't scarfed one.

I think I can, I think I can!!
