    Better way to survive Halloween: Don't buy candy. Buy pencils, stickers, and play doh to hand out instead!

    Halloween is going to KILL me. :( I have no will power for the candy! I won't buy any, but my son will get a ton and he is only 3 so I can take it all and he has no idea. It's already started with an event this weekend and I ate a bunch!

    So, I am going to try to not totally pig out, but not worry too much about it. To keep my exercise level hight though the whole candy time to try to offset some of the calories at least. And I am still logging everything. OK, so I ate like 20 tootsie rolls and 3 butterfingers? I'll actually log it so at least I know what i am doing to myself and being realistic about it! It helps too to see those cals pile up to discourage me from doing so in the future or doing so and going over cals. I love Halloween candy though. I am going to enjoy it in mid-level indulgence / moderation this year :)

    I'm with you! I say I eat SOME, in moderation, and try to offset it with exercise and lots of water. If I completely deprive myself, I'll go crazy and then end up binging which is way worse.

    My plan is to have my boyfriend purchase candies I don't care for. Kids still get candy and I don't get a fat *kitten*. And weigh myself that day so I have a recent number on the scale to defend lol.

    And I might indulge in one mini snickers, which is surprisingly not to bad as long as it stops there.

    This article is the whole reason why I avoid almost all candy all the time. I've been eating one square of dark chocolate that is low carb and lighter on the calories that I buy from Trader Joes. On occasion, I'll have one Dover caramel chocolate. Otherwise, it's just not appealing to me. I'll be spending Halloween visiting two friends at Stanford in California. It's the Halloween drinks I'll have to watch out for, not the Halloween candy.

    My weakness is Halloween candy and I always fall off the wagon this time of year. I am determined this year will be different. Luckily my son doesn't want to go out and he just wants to pass out candy. I have decided to by gross gummy candies and things that I don't care for. NO CHOCOLATE. The kids will still love it, my son can eat the leftovers and I have no desire to eat them. It's a win win for everyone :o) Good luck everyone!!

    I'm trying to work on a plan for all the incoming candy... my 1st grader will be bringing a ton home from school, carnivals, trick or treating, etc.... I already told him he is not going to eat all that candy... i told him how bad it is for us and we are making changes to be more healthy. he wasn't as bummed as I thought he would be, but i know he would probably rather just eat it all...lol... I may not even take him trick or treating... we'll see...

    i might just have to bring all the candy in to work (after we've sorted out his loot and divyed it up).

    I'm lucky, I'm just not into candy, and I really don't want to be the house that hands out pencils. My kids are grown up now, but i know what they used to say about "those" houses.
