How did we all do on Halloween
Replies
-
I had two fun size candy bars and a mini cupcake (the cupcake was heavenly to me!). Managed to stay within my calories and indulge a bit, so that's a win.0

I might take the rest of the candy out of the house cause my kid is two and he doesn't remember it exists anyway. Last year I'll be able to get away with that...... what to do about the hubby is another matter
Lol love it. I have a 3 year old and he got exactly 5 pieces of candy and the rest are in the trash!
You know, you could donate that leftover candy to a school. We often get donations, which are given to the counselors and classroom teachers to keep on their desks, pass out during games, and give to kids who are having a hard day and just need a little extra something. I hate to see food, even candy, thrown away.0 -

I am not the person who did this but too many kids have allergies that many schools wear I live will not hand out candy or treats of any kind in fear of a lawsuit.0 -

That's true too, but there are plenty of things that could be done with the candy. What an absolute waste of time and money. That candy could have went to other kids or the people handing it out could have saved it for something else. What's the point of trick or treating if you're just going to toss most of it away?0 -
I did terrible but I enjoyed every moment of it0
-
I overate for sure - went to a party and had wine, chips and guac and homemade halloween desserts. Oh well, back on track today.0

I killed something around seventeen zombies last night. Why the hell were they all carrying candy?0

I almost read over your news! Congratulations...........

I weighed for the first time in a few days an i am actually down a couple of pounds. LOL woohoo! I did not have any of the kids' candy but I did ave a double serving of a LCHF treat. Just as good and it fit my woe.
My kids got to eat candy last night and then save 10 things. I then packed up their chip bags to save for future movie or treat nights, saved the almost healthy juice gummies for lunch treats, made small baggies of treats for the "make a piñata" project my 8 year old has, and then we put the extra candy (as well as those with gluten and nut) into a bag in the basement to give out next halloween. Done.
Now I just need to take down the yard full of decorations and put up the Xmas lights before it snows.0 -
I ate more candy than my kid did and moved way less.0

I took my 2 yr old granddaughter t o t "ing and she was very generous in sharing her candy. I know what it does to me.... but ate it anyway... have had a few pieces all week... SOOO.....therefore I cannot stay awake and I have a b***ch of head ache. And now I am good for Christmas, won't have to worry about that because it will take me that long to recover...oh welllll......0

Yesterday I didn't eat very much and ended within my goal for calories, but it was a heavier carb day than normal so a slight water weight gain. Nothing to be concerned about, my kids got a ton of candy and everyone in the house is allowed 2 pieces per day. Should last us quite some time lol. my son has discovered a love of skateboarding and basketball so he wants to stay healthy as he "exercises " lol he is too cute. I am happy to be teaching him how to have a healthy relationship with food and fitness.0

Only thing Halloween related I did was in a gym class where they had candy for us to take afterwards. So I'm kicking myself when I'm showered up and almost ready to leave because... There was a bag full of candy, more than the attendees would ever finish up. So why rather than take five of the one I did like, was I searching the bag for oooh I like that kind! And only wound up with two pieces of candy??? That's just taking things too far!0

I ate what I had planned for the day including 2 pieces of candy and a pumpkin bar.0

It's Halloween! Partied it up, candied it up with no regrets! Sugary cocktails, shots after shots with friends.
Weight loss is cool, but having a great time and making memories with friends is cooler.
My adult candy bag looked like this:

I...ate pretty much whatever I wanted. However, I don't believe I did too bad--maybe over by 300-400cal (so at maintenance really). No regrets; Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas only come around annually...I'll survive and take the non-loss hit (if needed) at my next weigh-in. Otherwise, I'll swim extra hard and longer on pool days to compensate a bit for the indulgence
Hope everyone had a great Halloween! 0 -
I had a number of snickers fun size but oh well.
It's my favorite kind so I really enjoyed them.
My dh ate peanut m&ms (his favorite)0 -
I had a few pieces of candy. Not mad about it.0
-
I ate what I wanted, back to normal today. We actually had grave side service yesterday morning for a friend, had a few snacks at the church after. Then last night had a party with my cousins family had some yummy soups and a couple cookies and a piece of carrot cake she made. We had a big bingo game for the kids and grandma's with lots of candy prizes and I didn't eat any of that. Had a fun night and don't regret it. Just need to get back to normal starting NOW!!!!!!0
-
No candy. Ate out at lunch and I was full so I skipped dinner and was under maintenance for the day... plus good workout and 2 miles walked with the kids.0
-
it wasnt the candy so much; it was the dinner my brother in law made before hand. Pot roast, french bread, butter, soup, and 3 reeses candies when my son got home. I wasnt planning on eating dinner at their house so i didnt plan.....but it was so worth it. started my morning measuring my coffee creamer and ill try and sneak a workout in.0
-
I ate pizza, and popcorn, and SIX "fun" size Wunderbars XD
Clocked in under daily goal so woohoo!
No shame that my macro sources were less than fantastic yesterday, normally my meals are very well balanced so I let myself have some fun by way of not caring what I ate as long as I didn't eat a ridiculous amount of food overall.
After this test run I am feeling a lot more confident about Christmas

I made myself some sweet potato and lentil soup. Lovely and filling but then to continue the Halloween orange theme. I had half a tub of Ben and Jerry's pumpkin cheese cake ice cream
I also ate a little chocolate later on. I just give in to being at the top of my maintenance some days. Not feeling guilty! 0 -

We didn't toss it. There's all of like 15 pieces here though, a bit little to balance out a drive to the closest school. I think I'll send it to work with hubby if it gets bad, but I'm doing alright resisting.0 -

Ugghh hate when that happens that is why I can't have it around I either do so good and I dont eat it at all or I eat all of it and binge, out of sight out of mind I guess0 -
DumbbellHell wrote: »I ate so many skittles. I got the worst stomach ache. Never again. Same thing last Halloween. I ate so much I was sickened by the sight of candy until well after the New Year. It was definitely a dieting fail.
That's me too when I do indulge I eat it all and continue to eat it even If I am feeling sick normally left with a 2 day sugar hangover !0 -
I had 210 calories worth of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and 1/3 piece of chocolate mousse cake and managed to stay just under my calories due to working on the trail behind my house plus getting involved working on my aunt's website, losing track of time, and skipping a meal.
On the minus side, I sleep poorly. Not sure if that was due to what I ate or watching From Dusk to Dawn. George Clooney, Vampire Slayer,/slurp/.0 -

I'm not sure what happened in the comments, but my post was actually to the person who gave their kid five pieces of candy and tossed the rest in the trash. At least you're doing something with your spare candy.0 -

OH! I see, my bad. Yeah, I mean one the one hand, I want to congratulate anyone with the willpower to trash the haul, like as opposed to binging on it. But yeah, I would rather somebody eat it than just trash I guess. I think I'll send it to work with hubby. I don't really want to give my two year old any, because he's already insane he doesn't need assistance in the lunaticking dept. And we don't, either of us, especially enjoy candy, but his co construction workers will!0
