So normally i'd buy so so much candy and eat it in 1-2 days.

Three weeks ago, I bought a big bar of chocolate and a bag of fruit tootsie rolls.

& I'm proud to say there is still 3/4 of the bag of tootsie rolls, and 3/4 of the chocolate bar left. I treat myself to these if I know I'm going to the gym, or If i have calories left. I just had 6 tootsie rolls, the serving size, and i enjoyed them so much more! It's nice to be able to call that a treat when normally i'd just eat them because.

    Agree! I'm totally a candy/chocolate lover and would just sit and eat an entire bag of skittles because I could! Now its exciting buying that little bag and opening it, knowing its only a 200-something cal snack that I can split throughout a day or few days... and I don't mind one bit! (okay now I'm drooling for skittles....)

    Lol. I do not like wearing pants.
  • well done!

    occasionally, i miss being able to just chow down blindly on a big bag of candy but i must admit, i enjoy single servings SO much more now. a single Hershey's Kiss is something i relish and truly enjoy.

    That is one of the best things I have heard yet. I do the same thing now. More or less. This week is different though. Back to normal, hopefully by the weekend!
