    Here's a crazy idea: Negate 90 calories of candy by eating 90 less calories of something else.

    That attitude toward food and exercise is beyond unhealthy.

    Seriously? Lol. I save around 200-250 cals a day to 'indulge' in a treat of some sort. Tonight's was some jaffa cakes. :) Yum!

    Yeah... nothing wrong with the candy... especially that it's FUN SIZE!! It's very easy to fit as least ONE fun size candy for the day.

    Please don't torture yourself like that. If you keep thinking like that, you might end up getting the opposite reaction - you'll end up binging on so much candy. But if you really don't want to enjoy candy anymore, that's your choice.

    That has the opposite effect to me. Only 10 mins of spinning for a peanut butter cup? Hells yeah!

    But things like that not only demonise food, they also equate exercise with punishment. A healthy mindset towards food and exercise would do neither.

    Is it bad that it might work for me the opposite way? If I do extra exercise I can eat a little more

    Nope it doesn't change anything for me. I'd still eat them, with or without exercise.

    I'll probably have a piece of candy tomorrow. I'll budget for it, and enjoy it immensely. If I have any left over, I'll give it to someone else who wants it.

    Denial is my big binge trigger, so nothing is off the table. For me, the really relevant data are the first two columns. (Apart from my two favorite candies not being on the chart.) If I want a piece of candy, and since having one won't trigger a need/desire to eat all of the candy, I'll have the piece of candy and factor it in.

    Long term, one piece of candy won't make a difference. I might choose a Justin's dark chocolate organic peanut butter peanut butter cup; I prefer dark chocolate.

    For me, it's all about knowing what I'm eating.

    Will I ride my bike an extra 15-20 minutes this weekend when Starbucks' eggnog lattes come out? You bet. Will I order a short instead of a tall? Probably.

    Knowledge is power, including the power to mindfully choose to indulge.
