Are you sneaking a piece of candy this year?

If yes, what are you looking forward to?

If no, why not? It's Halloween! :)

I had 1 fun size snickers. Yes, it is 80 calories...but Snickers satisfies! Lol.

    I don't sneak food. I don't know if I'll have any today or not. I eat it when I really want it.

    None for me, one taste of chocolate and it turns into 2, 3 or 4. Have to stay away for now till i can handle eating better..

    I skipped my normal health breakfast today to have 4 snack size cand bars.

    Yes to Halloween candy! Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Skittles are always worth planning ahead for.

    I'll be carrying around a 5 month old and chasing 5 and 7 year old boys from 3-7. I'll eat a few pieces of candy and not worry a bit about it.

    No! I'm a newbie and I didn't want 1 to turn into 10 like it usually does. So I had NONE.

    No sneaking and certainly more than one piece.

    Definitely not sneaking and definitely shoveling more than one piece in my pie hole :bigsmile: :drinker:

    Call me crazy, but candy doesn't appeal to me anymore.

    I deliberately bought candy I don't particularly like so that I would be less likely to nibble. And I bought some fresh pineapple and sugar free ice cream in case the sweet tooth gets the better of me....

    if by sneaking you mean sitting on the couch in my underwear with a pile of it in my lap eating them hand over hand....then yes.

    if by sneaking you mean hiding in a bathroom to savor a fun size piece of candy or a single smarty...then you have a sour relationship with food and you need help.

    ETA: looking forward to mounds, reeses, kitkats, babyruths, fastbreaks, and peanut m&ms.
    you had ONE?!?! *gasp* you REBEL!

    Oh yes... I'm logging it and planning for it, but I'm planning to go through a package of peanut m&ms while giving out candy tonight.

    Edit to clarify: A full size package of peanut m&m's. There's nothing 'fun' about 'fun-size' to me, haha.

    I bought stuff that I cant eat. I am allergic to nuts, so I bought Reeses peanut butter cups, Snickers, and oops, Kit kat bars. If there is a Kitkat left on Saturday, maybe I will eat one. BUT I will try to resist.

    now if I had bought candy corn or smartties, it would be all over for me, I cant resist either of them.

    I wish I could just "like" some posts here... especially when people say "no sneaking here". I don't sneak jack honky doodles. I eat, I am human. I can't count calories- I am not that awesome... and I abuse myself when I do... But YES to Halloween candy. I have three children- I can't live without candy! ;) And now time to take a nap with my 5 year old so we can get bookoos of trick-or-treating done in the first hour. Second hour is for handing out candy (for us). I never believed in getting Halloween candy if I wasn't going to give it out...

    Definitely partaking in the candy! I know if I have too much I'll get a stomach ache, so that's a good reason to enjoy in moderation... although I haven't been so far! Oops! Good thing tomorrow is a new day :)

    I've managed not to sneak any pieces of candy at all this season (despite a huge opened bag of fun sized candy bars sitting on the living room table the last few weeks). Once I eat one piece it's like eating potato chips and I can't stop. If I don't eat that first piece, then I can't ever eat that 10th piece.

    Had to remove the candy pile from my desk. It was out of hand.

    I don't really crave candy much anymore, so probably not. When I do crave chocolate I have a Quest bar. Yummy :)

    My kids bag is going to be conveniently devoid of anything that says Reese's on it.

    I';m not eating candies - I am having a bottle of Hobgoblin Beer - 136 calories for a yummy glassful. Gimmee beer over chocolate anyday!!
    My Grandma used to make toffee apples for Hallowe'en - lovely burnt caramelly toffee - pulled off your caps and fillings - but it was sublime - unfortunately I don't have her recipe, or I might shelve the beer....................

    Not sneaking it. Just eating it. And loving it. And gently caressing it... And...
