    I'm eating it! My daughter decided we'd better get some...so 7 bags later they are sitting in my house mocking me! LOL

    So far it's ok, but I'm hoping not to binge anytime soon.

    Good luck!

    Gonna give out the candy to the kids who come to the door asking for candy. They'll say "Trick or Treat" and I'll be like, "nice costume, have some candy".

    I am facing a bit of a dilemma, since I have some leftover candy from last year. I don't know if it makes a difference in taste, but it seems wrong to give out year-old candy.

    My husband already bought our Halloween candy to hand out about 2 weeks ago. Of course the bags didn't stay closed for too long. He and the kids have been going to town and there's nothing I can do to stop them. I just have them in a cupboard that I don't open myself and don't have to look at. So far, I've not had any and I feel good about my choice!

    Good luck to you!

    I keep the candy bags in my 11 months old closet lol. Sounds weird but I can avoid the candy all day but at night I fiend for it....but not enough to risk waking up the baby for some candy so if I leave it in there, I won't touch it!

    I am making sure I log the pieces I eat. I will see that damage and will not do it again.

    You could easily fit a few pieces into your day if you want, you know.

    I only bought 500 pieces this year and I don't want to have to buy more for the trick-or-treaters (we usually get at least 500). Also, it "helps" that there are a lot of birthdays this time of year and I've been eating cakes instead.

    Easy! :D Give it all to a friend or neighbor. Have your boys pick out like, 8 pieces for them selves. If they get upset, just say, "Mommy needs candy out of the house. Mommy is not allowed to eat any." They should understand. :3

    I hate candy, so when I get stocked up on lots of it, I give it all to friends or neighbors. (You can save maybe a couple pieces for yourself) :3

    Not buying it in the first place, or that's the plan. We usually don't get trick or treaters so we advoid buying it before Halloween. Sure enough last year we had 9 trick or treaters and they got stale granola bars (oops). This year I bought a large box of microwave popcorn from Costco and they will get a bag of that. If they come back.....
    Next mission, to advoid buying Halloween treats AFTER Halloween!

    I will eat a piece when I feel like it and when I can fit it in, and log it. Otherwise, Halloween candy in my house gets turned into fodder for Holiday treat making...! (Add M&Ms to cookies, save plain chocolate for turtles, melt hard candy for stained glass cookies, etc)

    helpful!

    OP - The good thing about Halloween candy is that it's in smaller portions which usually can easily be sqeezed into your calories for the day. Yes, it takes practice to not eat 10 fun size kit kat bars in one sitting, but that only usually happens if you force yourself to not have any. If you allow yourself to have 1 a day or every 2 days or whatever, it's a lot easier :) Hope that helps!

    My daughter has so far done 2 rounds of trick-or-treat and one more to come on Thursday. I did allow myself a fun size Snickers and tootsie roll yesterday. i can justify the Snickers as that is my absolute favorite. It was a nice treat - especially after walking around all day myself.

    She has one more round on Thursday.

    So far, I took a few pieces to work to last me the week - not one piece is more htan 100 calories. I also hid the rest in a cabinet above the fridge. If I start to steal candy from it I will have my husband hide it!

    Pick a few pieces that you really like, log it to make sure it fits, and then eat it :bigsmile:

    Don't punish yourself by forbidding yourself to eat it. Barring diabetes or insulin sensitivity, a couple of pieces will not hurt you. I promise!
