    edited January 2 in Chit-Chat
    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???

      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!

      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.

      I know what you mean, it's hard to resist when it's right up there in your face, while it's easier when you can stay away.
      Try to limit your consumption beforehand. I gave myself the right to eat one piece today, nothing more.
      All you need is a little moderation, but don't be too hard on yourself, it's only halloween once a year after all lmao

      don't consider it a lost day. Just stop passing the candy bowl and try to make better choices throughout the rest of the day. Luckily, our appartment doesn't have kids trick or treat, so I don't need candy, but my boyfriend adn I did by some lose piece candies the other night for us to celebrate hallween this week, since we're not going out. if i plan it right, mine should last at least the end of the year

      As my daughter tells me "Just walk away from the candy, don't do it." It's ok to have some once in a while. I found that I can't eat as much candy as I used to. And for the candy I am handing out, I make sure to buy something that I don't like, that way I won't eat it. I also look at suckers and hard candies as just plain sugar which isn't good for my diabetes.

      It's not candy for me but it's carbs... What I'm going to do for Thanksgiving (because I know I'll eat a lot) is work out that morning and try to burn as much calories as I can and then eat with my friends. As long as the stuffing isn't that good then I'll be okay. Just try to keep it light the rest of the day.

      *Also, I have cheat days so Thanksgiving will be mine. Just because you have a few pieces of candy doesn't mean you are going to RUIN your diet. We're human and we all have differences. Some might not have as much will power as others but that doesn't give anyone the right to talk smack to the other person. Just get back on track the next day and don't over indulge with candy often.

      if the baskets are close to you move them, if you are walking to get the candy take a waterbottle/cup and a pad of paper and a pen with you and get one thing and walk away (Keep your hands full of other things rather than candy).

      Where I work there is no candy as I work in a shop and its dirty and nasty, at my old job my old boss always had candy on her desk and when I went in to her office I would grab something and put it in my mouth and then kept my hands full so I couldn't carry more things.

      Also work out, you have maybe destroyed today but if you work out you can cancel some of it. Make sure you log it - the numbers alone may scare you straight.

      I love halloween, always have but not because of the candy and stuff just Halloween in general. Remember you are an adult, you control what you put in your face. Just stop and think about it before you put it in your mouth.

      I'm very happy that I live in an apartment building and get no trick or treaters. I would not do well with 60 mini bags of doritos in my presence.

      I have an office all to myself and the candy bowl is on my desk "FOR THE CUSTOMERS" so i was overwhelmed with choices and smells , first i jusr started out swirling the candy around 'so the customers could see the choices" then i went back and forth on how one wouldnt hurt and so on, then i got my first taste of the creamy peanut butter reese's just a small lil one and . I lost control and went nuts. Now i am as sick as a dog eating green grass. I am over it. :cry:
