LOL - I remember years ago, before my daughter was born, the only thing I'd asked my exhusband for that year for Christmas/Yule was workout clothing... He bought me the workout clothing...and a 5 pound box/bar of chocolate... I was like, are you bleeping kidding me???0

My family knows just how hard I try to lose weight..... what do I get for the holidays.... CANDY.... Effen candy. UGH0

Last year my husband, who has never had to worry about his weight ever (Life is not fair), got me a ton of candy. As I was opening it, I just kept handing it out to other people. My kids are hoping that happens again.0

If the boxes are sealed, you might consider donating them to a women's shelter, if they can accept them. I personally think a single mom would enjoy the indulgence far more than my kiddo, etc. That, and men, when they don't know what to get, kind of default to that "flowers and candy" mentality beat into them since birth. I always made a point to speak clearly about what I wanted from my ex and my current guy, and anyone in my life for that matter. While we all want that mystical person who just "gets us" without having to say anything, that is the fantasy. If you want your man to know what to get you, tell him. If he still gets candy, get the receipt from him so you can take it back and get a gift card to get what you really want. After a few times of this, hopefully he will stop. I know for me personally, my guy likes to indulge me where I wouldn't normally myself, and so it comes from that sometimes... But if this is what we wanted for years, all the family/friends are geared to this expectation. What we need to do is reprogram ourselves and them!!!0

Ive sent hubs 4 or 5 ebay links for xmas stuff and its all exercise related stuff and im fairly sure he will stick to it. When he does surprise me its usually with flowers not chocs though he does default to offering to buy me takeaway food when im having a particularly lousy day and still hasnt realised that eating salty greasy crap will only soothe me til the next weigh in then i will be cursing. Im learning to turn down the take out now though for that very reason so he will cotton on eventually0

It's almost like learning another language, learning to talk to our partners in a way they actually hear and compute! LOL!0

Ive found writing to my husband a very effective therapeutic tool over the years. He does the whole squirmy uncomfortable thing if I try and talk about anything deep but if I wait til hes out driving his van and send him a long PM or text he reads and ruminates while he drives and often gets the message0

I could probably fit that into my plan one giant square every other day lol.0
-
It says 36 portions so I am guessing 1 square is 1 portion and 1 square is 152 calories so nice wee snackette. Id have it daily though...0
