I am a big fan of candy corn too! pure sugar! my drug of choice. I was eye-balling the 5 pound Sam's Club bag the other day. Not this year. Only tip I have..... is....... Just say No!

@dlburniston - I stumbled across this group and thought it would be perfect as I can definitely relate to the candy craze! I love candy corn too! I really like @becknomad's suggestion to not deprive or you crave but do it only after reaching another goal like walking 10,000 steps (or whatever you set it at). That way, at least you'll be burning most if not all of the calories you would have eaten. It's kind of like how you can have your cake and eat it too.

My biggest weakness is chewy sprees. I recently discovered them and wow....I just can't control myself! To make matters worse, 8 pieces is 50 calories and I usually go through about 50 pieces (really, only 8???!!!) I'm going to try this suggestion and see if it'll work for me. I have heard to be careful about rewarding yourself with food, but for me personally, I feel if I deprive myself too much than my weight loss journey will not be long-lasting or sustainable because I'll just binge eat gaining every pound back. I've worked too hard to let that happen!

@serranurse - you have a lot more willpower than me! Way to go!

I've also tried storing it in the freezer. You have to let it thaw in your mouth before chewing or it breaks your teeth. Mean, but it works! Dark chocolate is good this way too--the snap is nice, like a crunchy snack.
