This will make you think twice before eating that Halloween Candy!

Is it really worth the calories?

Here's a crazy idea: Negate 90 calories of candy by eating 90 less calories of something else.

That attitude toward food and exercise is beyond unhealthy.

Rays_Wife

s_pekz

Seriously? Lol. I save around 200-250 cals a day to 'indulge' in a treat of some sort. Tonight's was some jaffa cakes. Yum!

Mmmmm CANDY!!!



Yeah... nothing wrong with the candy... especially that it's FUN SIZE!! It's very easy to fit as least ONE fun size candy for the day.

Please don't torture yourself like that. If you keep thinking like that, you might end up getting the opposite reaction - you'll end up binging on so much candy. But if you really don't want to enjoy candy anymore, that's your choice.

Worth it.

Let me see...did it make me think twice?

OP, you make me sad.

That has the opposite effect to me. Only 10 mins of spinning for a peanut butter cup? Hells yeah!

But things like that not only demonise food, they also equate exercise with punishment. A healthy mindset towards food and exercise would do neither.

Agreed

Is it bad that it might work for me the opposite way? If I do extra exercise I can eat a little more

For the peanut butter cups its totally worth it.

spirit095

Nope it doesn't change anything for me. I'd still eat them, with or without exercise.

I'll probably have a piece of candy tomorrow. I'll budget for it, and enjoy it immensely. If I have any left over, I'll give it to someone else who wants it.

Denial is my big binge trigger, so nothing is off the table. For me, the really relevant data are the first two columns. (Apart from my two favorite candies not being on the chart.) If I want a piece of candy, and since having one won't trigger a need/desire to eat all of the candy, I'll have the piece of candy and factor it in.

Long term, one piece of candy won't make a difference. I might choose a Justin's dark chocolate organic peanut butter peanut butter cup; I prefer dark chocolate.

For me, it's all about knowing what I'm eating.

Will I ride my bike an extra 15-20 minutes this weekend when Starbucks' eggnog lattes come out? You bet. Will I order a short instead of a tall? Probably.

Knowledge is power, including the power to mindfully choose to indulge.

This has made me think twice.

Made me think twice about how tasty sweets are.

Yup.

Edited to add - really wish that I could burn 90 calories in 10 minutes of spinning, lol!

I can definitely manage a piece or two of candy every day if I want it.
I bet you can too. Just don't eat a giant bag of candy in one day.

I don't think this went as she expected. She forgot to turn on the anti-sugar Batsignal to attract all the "sugar is the devil" people.

Candy is awesome! However I agree with the posters that say cut it out of your daily calorie count or make up for it over the week. Of course if you just say to heck with it and eat it then that is your choice and nothing is wrong with it. If it sets you back by a day or two then in the end what did it really cost you? But if you decide to say to heck with it more often than not then you will be right back where you started. Just use your best judgement. I myself would eat candies if I had some but since I don't I will more than likely eat an ounce or two of peanuts and enjoy them 1 at a time (YUM!!!)

Well i have already eaten plenty of halloween candy, so yes. It's worth it because I fit everything I want into my calories/macros.

Duh.
