JUST SHOOT ME!!!!.....I hate halloween!!!

Options
So the baskets are out full of halloween candy at my work and i have devoured 7 reeses cups, 1 butterfiner, 3 whopper packs, 1 snickers, 2 milk duds and i am staring hard at a box of nerds! All from the "snack "size bags of course. Have you lost control? Do you say screw it i might as well call this day lost and keep on shovin it in? Is it because you deprive yourself for so long that once you have a taste its like a frenzy and you crave it. Or do i just need a slap in the face and someone to yell FOCUS!? AHHHH AM I ALONE???

    *SLAP*

    Okay, I had a few pieces of candy here and there, but I workout a little longer and a little harder to kind of make up for it :smile: WAIT TIL THANKSGIVING, then I'll really be in trouble!

    thats a hard one - I have my halloween candy for the kids on a top shelf I can't reach. a little tougher for you being at work. I think I would have hit the nerds first :smile: I love nerds!! nothing you can do about it now, tomorrow try to limit it to 1 or 2.. and pick the best!:happy:

    I hate halloween too. But not because of the candy. Candy is self control, use it as a motivator. Every time you pass it by is another small victory.

    I hate halloween because I work in Salem, MA, the place where halloween starts in September, and there are a gazillion tourists from mid-September through halloween all filling up where I go to eat, taking my parking spaces, making getting in and out of work a nightmare with traffic...etc.

    Don't mistake me, I love the holiday in general, just not the touristy stuff that happens where I work.

    Absolutely!!! I'm good with 1 piece if I have it with a meal, but if I just eat it by itself major major cravings kick in like an hour later and before you know it I have devoured handfulls...it's sad...I have an iron will and can resist anything...except temptation apparently...

    I have eaten much more of this candy today than I want. But I logged it and then slapped myself and am drinking water trying sooooo hard to not eat another piece. It's not easy at all, but I'm not going to give up on the day just cause I shot over my sugar allotment.

    Our brains are hardwired to go for 3 things: sugar, salt, and fat. Candy has at least 2 if not 3 of those! That's why we have no self-control. You're NOT the only one!!!

    I have never been to Salem and I am just dying to get up there - sorry I may be one of those tourists next Halloween!!

    Seriously.... stop *****ing about it and make the right choice. All you are doing is making an excuse more prevailing. You either WANT to be healthier, or dont.

    The day is only wasted if you decide it is. Stop now and don't do any more damage. Promise yourself one or two for tomorrow to have something to look forward to.
