Tomorrow is Halloween. Last year I was successful because I didn't eat a single piece of candy (on just that day).
I also think about how sick it will make me feel.
Just eating one piece is an open door to days and days of uncontrollable binge eating.

Would love to hear your tips and survival techniques.

    Halloween and it's candy has been a trigger for me to binge since I was a sophomore in high school (I'm now 37). I would really like to hear what everyone's tips are on this too.

    So far, I'm not even going to allow myself a piece. I'm also going to try to get my kids to sell the dentist most of theirs. Four bags of trick or treat candy is hard to resist!

    So far, I haven't succumed to candy and cupcakes, etc. My mother in law said that she has candy she is giving us for halloween and wants to get together. My husband can have the candy and other sweets, otherwise, I would just prefer to throw it all away instead of binging on it.

    All that candy and sweets makes me sick to my stomach as well as fatter. I am working so hard to lose weight that I am not about to throw it away on binging on cheap candy/sweets.

    its funny cuz i never cared much about halloween candy.. im usually more picky on chocolate/candy.. like i like sees (duh) and dark chocolate and such.. used to love reese's but egh not as much anymore..
    but man sunday night i had a fun size twix and :indifferent: for some reason it was sooooooooooo good...
    havent had one since.. but have thought about getting a bag!!!!!!! but no no no i shouldnt.. ugh
    i think its hard too cuz there small fun size so you think you can have more etc...
    idk deprivation sux too but man they just add up to fast cals wise.. so almost better to have NONE when it comes to that...
    they also say to buy the candy u dont care for (for trick or treaters) so your less driven to eat it!

    ~1 hour of cardio carrying a 35 lb kid on my shoulders, carrying a bag that's getting fuller at every house, then sell the candy to the dentist. double score.
