Blew it the last few days on Easter Candy... Peanut butter cups to be exact... I swear they are the Devils candy!

Back on track today again, just needed to vent!

Anyone else have a downfall candy around the Holidays?

    Man, those are good. They have a giant display of them at CVS and I had to walk by them a bunch of times yesterday. Thank goodness those weren't from the faulty batch!

    They will be in my belly on Easter, though. Along with some peanut M&Ms and a cadbury cream egg or three.

    Peanut butter Easter eggs are totally my downfall too! I bought them KNOWING full well that I wasn't going to be able to resist temptation. I guess they're worth exercising the extra 10 minutes to burn them off??

    Not unless mom made opera fudge again. Doubtful, since it's an all-day process that takes a split-second towards the end to go horribly wrong and I haven't gotten any excited/crushed phone calls about the success/failure as of yet.

    I do love Buckeyes, and will eat those until I'm full, but those are Christmas candies for us, not Easter.

    Mini eggs are good. I am thinking about going to Target or Fred Meyer on Monday or Tuesday and picking up a few clearance bags if they have any dark chocolate ones left.

    Other than that, Easter candy is meh. I'm looking more forward to Easter dinner - grilled sockeye salmon, spinach, strawberry and goat cheese salad, baked potato, and white wine. Nom, nom, nom!

    It's Good Friday, so not an issue for me. I tend to strictly hold off on Easter candy until Easter (or maybe the party after the Vigil) and then celebrate for a day and put it away. Candy's not really my thing anyway -- lamb and potatoes and asparagus and some sort of dessert on Easter, plus some deviled eggs is more my weakness.

    Replace candy with whiskey, and there's my upcoming weekend. At least I won't intake any carbs :lol:

    My mom sent me chocolates from a local place that I can't get here. They're my favourite and they are so not making it to Easter. Mmmmmm <3

    Granny's cheesy potatoes will do me in this weekend. More worth it than the candy.

    Just eat a few or keep it out of the house entirely. Self control. Self restraint. Definitely a hard trait to get used to, but it is possible. My weakness is Cadbury cream eggs, but I haven't had one in over two years for the Easter season. I keep jelly beans in the house, but I limit myself to 2-3 daily, so it's only 40 calories or so. I stay away mostly because of the sugar, I know I could make the calories fit my macros.

    ^My daughter had a bag of Butterfinger bites left over from the movie theatre. I had them stored in the freezer and would eat 2 or 3 of them every night while I was cooking dinner. Got tired of it and finally threw them out last night so I wouldn't tempt myself. lol

    I've done some Easter baking with cadbury creme eggs but gave the majority of them away - I love baking during the holidays and try to give most of it away, but I try at least one because I'd be miserable otherwise haha. Easter eggs are definitely my weakness, me and my boyfriend thought it would be nice to buy each other an Easter egg this year so I'll have one to eat this weekend. I'm gonna eat healthy all day though and do some form of exercise - I guess it is only one day a year and as long as it actually ends this Sunday I should be alright haha.

    Not me.
    We bought Cabury eggs and some peeps. I put them in a drawer and haven't thought about them since. I don't particularly like them and didn't really want any candy for myself.
    The candy I like is available year round. I eat a few pieces occasionally but I prefer salty snacks.
