Do you eat candy?
Snickers, M&M, Mars bars - oh my!

I only eat Jelly Babies, but need to stop because of diabetes concerns. (And despite myself, I am working on exercising and getting healthier in the first place.)

1. Hi, HT!
:hi: Good for you for getting healthier. :applause: I used to eat a lot of candy, but these days I only eat it rarely. Don't get me wrong---I never met a candy I didn't like. :P But I have that candy addiction under control and indulge every now and then. :)

7. Nope. Nasty stuff.
Cheesecake, apple pie, tiramisu, pecan pie, angle food cake with icecream and fruit, now those are a different matter.

8. Chocolate is pure heaven!!
But I just eat a little bit because diabetes is in my family so chocolate is a once in a while treat.

15. Unfortunately, yes
Cuz, you know--mooooooooooo. I'm not liking the number the scale shows me. But alas, I'm defenseless against a foil-wrapped Dove bit, especially the nummy ones with the caramel in the middle, and they lurk in the candy dish in my friend's office just down the hall. However, I am able to buy DH several candy bars at a time and never indulge even though they lie around on the kitchen counter for days on end--I don't even "see" them or crave them. Strange, I know.

Especially chocolate. But it's only a rare treat. (Most of the time.) :P

20. I've been inhaling Coffee Nips since I was ten.
Other than that I don't have a taste for candy, except chocolate sometimes. And Jolly Ranchers. :9
