*NOT* eating candy today, and not even minding!

Candy's not special, I can get it any old time, so today, even though its everywhere? No problemo. Be gone, Snickers! You have no power over ME.....

So- who's enjoying GUILT FREE (y'all might as well) and who's not indulging? (Nothing wrong either way).

    I've ate a small ice-cream cone today, and I worked it into my calories for the day. However... I haven't touched candy... and don't plan to. Those things are sneaky. They pile up before you know it. LOL. I'm definitely guilt-free.

    I bought some goldfish crackers to give out today so I wouldn't be tempted with candy. I'm sure the neighborhood kids are gonna be mad at me.

    I did have an unplanned splurge of a few bites of mac and cheese that my husband had left over from lunch. Wow, was it good. Fits into my daily macros though, so no guilt.

    I set aside 4 mini tootsie rolls so I don't feel deprived! The rest will be given out tonight!

    I'm already dreading it. My fiance insists on buying the good candy, and he's taking the boy child out trick or treating and leaving me home alone with a massive bowl of mini chocolate bars...someone save me!

    Man I love goldfish crackers...and mac and cheese. Those things wouldnt make it till sundown. Candy on the other hand, bought mine a couple weeks ago and its still completely untouched. The only thing I love more than goldfish is the Almighty Cheezit-destroyer of diets.

    I hate a couple things but not any more than a regular day!

    The secret is to hand out everything you bought. The killer is the leftover candy that hangs around the house.
    But on the good side, the small portions are already portion controlled!

    Besides, nothing tastes as good as fit feels :)

    I have the candy I don't love in the house right now. But, if my kids bring home a peppermint patty, I will eat one, because I rocked my run today!

    I'm not indulging in it. It makes me feel like crap, it aggravates my adrenal fatigue, it eats up my calorie budget, not going there... The holidays don't change a thing for me. I just say no more often. For the rest of my life, it's just an occasional treat. OTHER PEOPLE DON'T HAVE POWER OVER ME TO EAT. I own it. I decide. I eat when I decide to eat, I don't eat when I decide. No one else decides for me. THis works! This does not mean I deprive myself. I decide when it goes in my calorie budget, end of story.

    You go girl! :) What ever you decide.

    I have endulged and counted it in my cals for the day. If the rest of the day goes as planned I will be right in line with my total calories. So no big deal. If I happen to endulge a bit more I will be over and that's kind of scary.

    I indulged. I got a piece out of the candy basket at work every time I walked past it (which was a fair amount, not gonna lie.) And I'm shamelessly not logging it.

    Your stronger than me if you can, I feel I've been kicking my butt like crazy so I'm so going to treat myself out to drinks, movies, and maybe a few snacks and food items I'm not suppose to eat :P!

    Plus I get off tonight at 10pm... so DAMMIT I WANT SOMETHING OUT OF THIS HOLIDAY.

    All things in moderation as usual. Looked at my calories for breakfast and lunch and they are low enough to allow a small indulgence. Just had one peanut butter cup and will have a snack size Snicker later and call it good. Just have to resist having another just because it tastes so yummy after not having anything of the sort for so long but just off a long plateau and all my baby weight FINALLY gone with just a few pounds to changing BMI categories......no amount of chocolate is worth slipping backwards now!! May go over sodium today but plenty of calories left for dinner without blowing it....and I'm drinking all my water + today so should all work out fine.

    Since I don't get to eat or drink at all today until after 5, and prolly won't be hungry due to the anesthesia, I indulged in pizza and a couple fun sized candies...whoppers, kitkat, and milkduds. I'm logging it all...gotta take that responsibility!

    Meh, I had 3 'snack size' bars and some 'surprise' Chinese food - I was over my day by 200 calories. Considering I was under by 194 yesterday I'll just blink a few extra times and forget about it. I have bigger things to worry about than being a handful of calories over from time to time.
