    I have no need to sneak food, I eat what I want in moderation and yes, I've had several pieces of candy this week and I've enjoyed them all.

    Oh boy...Just take a look at today's diary. Coffee, chocolate and Mexican.

    And I almost forgot the beer....

    Yes! I generally save at least 100 calories a day for chocolate. Since Thursday, I've been eating around 600 calories of candy, but I know I'll get tired of it soon enough. As long as I stay in my daily goal, I'm good.

    My issue is definitely chocolate. I've become a chocolate snob, so it helps if you can imagine. All that Halloween candy doesn't cut it. If it isn't dark chocolate and Lindt or other high quality chocolate, I feel the taste just isn't worth the calories. Now give me a couple squares of Lindt chocolate and I'm not hiding anything... just making sure I can fit it into my calorie intake for the day.
  • Not sneaking - going to eat it right out in public and ENJOY it!!

    I pretty much always have two kit kats per day. On Halloween, I just didn't have to buy them myself.

    I had half a fun size snickers and realized it didn't even taste that good for it to be 91 calories, not worth it and threw the rest away.

    When I'm in my HIIT class I just think of how I'm only working off a single burger, it's crazy. I'd rather not have to do an extra hour just for some candy.

    Your calorie budget must be tiny if you can't fit a single piece of candy in it. That gives me the sads

    Yep. I don't eliminate totally and just moderate to compensate for the "bad" things. It's easier for me to just give in a little since saying no all the time sets me up for a binge. Granted I'm not a huge sweet tooth type so candy is easier to limit... pasta on the other hand lol that gets ruled with more iron fist!

    No, it's 1400. I could fit it in as I usually don't make it to 1400 by the end of the day, I just didn't think the candy tasted good enough for it to be 91 calories and threw it away. If it was a nice piece of swiss dark chocolate I'd be all over it :P

    I believe my tastes have changed since eating healthy.
