Are you going to allow yourself any? What is a reasonable amount?

    I will let my toddler keep maybe about 20 pieces of candy for her to keep at the house and the rest will get packed up and sent to her preschool and daycare. Out of the candy she has left I may allow myself to eat 1 or 2 pieces, it really depends on how big and the calories. I read every label carefully and then debate if that little piece of candy is worth the calories.

    Good luck!

    Already did.....a few times ;) I just added it into my food log. Life is too short to not eat candy on Halloween, or have a piece of cake on your birthday. That's just my opinion though :)

    As long as your calories allow it, why not? Live a little! :D

    I've already been in it. LOL Anything left over will be brought to work to share rather than left at home. If it's there, I'll eat it.

    I bought candy with the specific intent of eating it. But, I'm pregnant, haven't been gaining much weight (10-15 pounds over 32 weeks) and don't have gestational diabetes, so I give in to my cravings when I have them. A reasonable amount is probably 2-3 pieces, depending on what they are and how many calories you have to fit them in.

    I don't think I'm going to have any this year...but that is just because I don't have children or get Trick or Treaters so no temptation! Now do I want to go buy a bag for myself to eat? Yes. Will I? Probably not. If anything I would rather just buy 1 regular candy bar so when it is done, I don't have any leftover.

    I'm only going to have one piece. Total. I've promised myself I won't go back into that bucket in the days that follow.

    I think it depends on the person.. for me sugar is a problem once I have it in my body it's like the sugar asks for more sugar, so i stay completely away from it, It would be a stumbling block for me, but if it is not a problem for you enjoy in moderation :smile:

    I specifically bought candy that I myself don't like (Laffy Taffy and Smarties) so I am not left tempted!

    Nope, none for me :D We purposefully bought candies we don't like so we won't eat any ;) Plus, My Chargers are playing tonight so that will keep me preoccupied for a while ;)
