    What are you going to do for Halloween with all the lovely delicious evil candy? Save up enough calories, or just turn the other way? What's your absolute favorite Halloween Candy? (Snickers here!)

    I don't buy evil candy, only the good stuff, like Reese's pumpkins.

    If I can keep from picking up the candy at a discount the next day like I always have, I think I will be okay.

    I eat and track some, the rest go into work. I burn a few calories with trick or treating with my children so it gives me a little wiggle room. If I go over a little bit (because it is delicious) oh well. On night of splurging on halloween candy isn't going to make me fat, just like skipping it won't make me thin.

    I change my mind from year to year...sometimes I dig in, sometimes I avoid it...depends on the day, the mood, the stress, the moment....whatever I can use for an excuse or not. But I always log it if I have it...unfortunately. Darn journal!

    Eat the left overs, a few pieces at a time! Then raid my kid's baskets for more :devil:

    And there had better be some Cadbury's Cream Eggs in there, or I'm going to the store!


    Cadburys Screme Eggs - I can't eat them the green fondant puts me off :sad:

    Eat a piece of two max and trash the rest. The constant temptation will drive you insane.

    I usually eat it in moderation over MONTHS, or I bring it into my jobs and share it with my co-workers. My boyfriend isn't much of a candy person unless it's those Reese's peanut butter marshmallow things.

    I love bottle caps, the colored/flavored and chocolate tootsie rolls, sour patch kids, and milky way dark.

    Stash.

    We're having a Halloween sugar/junk fest this year. I just bought a big bag of Reeses miniatures earlier and a bag of fun size Snickers. My wife snagged the pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin croissants a few days ago. We'll be picking up some lemon-thyme-butter popcorn and another Halloween/Fall themed pastry.

    We're going to watch a bunch of scary movies and I'll indulge till I can't anymore...and then indulge some more. I'll feel crappy, but oh well!

    Then the next day I'll stash the left overs. Somebody will eat them eventually, or I will the next time I decide to have an indulge day.

    I'll probably devour them all in one day. "Get it out of the way" kinda thing. Huge fan of fruity chew candies like skittles/ starbursts/ gushers / fruit roll ups and can eat boxes of them.

    Honestly, I'm surprised nobody said this first, but, we donate ours to my kids dentist, who then sends it to the wonderful troops overseas. I'm proud of my kids for doing it, they're only 4,3,1. I explain to them that there are wonderful men and women who'll get to enjoy it and my kids are happy to hear that :)

    I never met a candy I didn't like :o) So, for that reason, all the candy we're handing out is still in sealed bags locked in my cellar. Will not be broke out until the doorbell starts ringing. And we'd better have trick-or-treaters until it's all gone!!! As for what my kids bring home, I hope to summon the willpower to keep my hands off. Once I start, it's hard for me to stop!

    I will avoid it this year. I have had enough candy, I know what it tastes like and that is part of what made me fat. I can certainly forgo it until I meet my personal weight loss goals, and then I might avoid it after that too.

    I still have Halowe'en candy in the freezer from last year. Feeling pretty smug actually. Maybe that's a NSV?
