OMG...its Cadbury Cream Egg season :noway: Those little buggers are 150 calories each and packed with a whole lot of sugar. I don't think a year ago I could have walked away from them at the store but today I kept thinking..."I'll have to log it on MFP" and managed to get out of the store without a single egg, so thanks to every one on here who has been so supportive and encouraging! :happy:

    I hear you! I LOVE those to as well as the caramel ones. I also LOVE the chocolate covered marshmallow bunny's & the chocolate covered caramel marshmallow bunny's to. I am trying to stay away from them as well.

    Good Job not buying any.

    Nice job! I imagine I'll have one before the season's over, but I did spot them at the grocery today and managed to resist. I love those little guys.

    I like to keep a candy in the fridge sometimes for a day when I have a huge deficit. I had a Reese cup one day under those circumstances and it was totally worth it. I "hid" it behind the door where the butter normally goes so it wouldn't be in view all the time.

    Good job from Halloween to Easter seems like the stores are brimming with seasonal candy. Sometimes hard to resist (I love Peeps which used to be an Easter thing, now they have them for everything). So tell myself that I can't eat it if I don't buy it.
    Stay strong!!!!!!!!!!

    I live just a few miles or so from the Just Born plant where they make the Peeps...they have a VW Beetle with a giant Peep on top that I always see when I'm driving around lol

    I don't like chocolate mixed with anything.....peanut butter, caramel, marshmallow.....yuck. But, a big fat hershey bar is amazing. And I did manage to stand in front of it at the store for 5 minutes in line today and not grab it. We should all be proud of these little victories. I'm with hmsmike....I want this more!

    OMG! Last Easter season I had to buy both the Reese Egg and the Cadbury Egg and I would wash it down with a Mountain Dew on the way home from the grocery!!!

    This season....I've walked straight by them with a longing glance and chewed a piece of sugar free gum lol

    Maybe this post is not a helpful one. But the reason why I love this site so much is so if I wanted to, I could eat a cadburry egg without feeling guilty. Because we are logging our food, we know that can get away with eating a cadburry egg and stay on track. For me I am trying to lose weight, so I am eating about 900 calories less than I am burning each day. So, even if I were to hit my target for the day, 150 extra calories is still a good day. I think as long as we are eating a couple servings of fruits, and a couple servings of vegtables, drinking our water and staying within our calories, and we are also indulging=== is what makes losing weight and maintaining weight loss possible, because it is still enjoyable, healthy and doable for a lifetime.:bigsmile:

    I allow myself one or two over the course of the time they are out (why do they have to come out this early!!), but I never buy more than one at a time, and I enjoy every second of it!!

    These are my ultimate weakness--I look forward to them every year!! I think I will wait till closer to Easter and indulge in some then after I make room for them in my calories :)

    Congrats on walking away from them!

    Aw man. I completely forgot about them.

    The boyfriend might have to go grocery shopping without me next time. Not sure I can walk past without getting some. : /

    That's hysterical! I feel like I need blinders at the store. I went this weekend and they have Valentine's Day and Easter candy out. That's evil!
