Unbelievable!!

Wow, with all of the Halloween candy about the house....it's really difficult not to grab a chocolate or two whilst walking by.
I, grabbed many, and all day long. I guessed at what I may have eaten, and it looks something like 25 or more. How gross is that? I'm trying not to beat myself up about it, but man, why? I love chocolate, I feel happy....was it because they were there? Do I have to live my life having to ban all sweets because I have no self control?
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone else not know how to say 'NO' after one or two? Any advice for those of us struggling with this?
I am forever stuck at 185lbs....after my 5th child 6 months ago. I was 130lbs when I got pregnant but feel like it's hopeless...UGH!

I hear you.

It was my birthday Thursday and since Wednesday, I have done nothing but eat and eat and eat.
Everyone wanted to take me out for lunch and/or dinner. I feel like *kitten*. Then, add in the Halloween candy and YOU get the picture. Not pretty at all.

Let's join forces.
Let's get back on track.
WE can do this!!!!
Let's go!!!!!
Tomorrow IS a new day and a new week.

Well, you said it........I have to keep all sweets out of the house because I have no will power to say no. For awhile I thought I'd just buy low fat or sugar free candy or cookies and it wouldn't be so bad when I indulged. Problem is, I eat the whole bag or box !!! I've learned that if it is there.....I will eat it....until it's gone.....period. So the best thing for me is to just not have it in the house.

At first I felt guilty for depriving my family of goodies. But then, I realized that I need to take care of myself first. If they want something sweet bad enough they will pick up a candy bar or something before they come home.

Remember.....take care of yourself because no one else will. Do what is best for you. Don't tempt yourself when you know what a struggle it is. You are prone to fail the test, then you will feel guilty and depressed after you've cleaned out the candy dish.

Good luck.....I know it's hard. I struggle every day.

Same here! I work at a school, and Friday we had a "Fall Festival". I ate FOUR pieces of cake, 2 cupcakes, cookies, chips, dip, cheese, crackers, cookies, etc. Then today, I was at a friend's house, with LOTS of REALLY YUMMY chocolate candy, AND candy corn. I made quite the pig of myself and kept eating and eating! Sometimes I just can't believe how "bad" I can be! I have my good days, even good weeks, and THEN I go and royally pig out! Grrrr, WHY do I do it?! :sad: :grumble:

My 14 year old and I went trick or treating last night, ate what we wanted (til we felt blahhh), then gave the rest to a neighbour. I had planned on eating what I wanted on Halloween night, but I didn't want any of it in the house after that.

If it was in the house, I would be eating it.

Yeah, I did pretty well last night taking the kids to the halloween party, and this morning was good too. This afternoon was another story though, it wouldn't have been so bad if not for the cookies I made for dessert tonight, we invited company and I feel compelled to offer an unhealthy but yummy dessert, why is that?? Anyway, I'm not even going to log today, I know I went over, I'm just going to try and make the best of the rest of the day, exercise tonight, and start again tomorrow. We have some leftover candy, but I've been able to be pretty good about only having a piece now and then, not even every week, that is unheard of for me. Before I was an open the bag and an hour later I've eaten it all kind of gal!
