    Works for me! Although, I have switched from regular candy bars (250+ calories) to Skinny Cow stuff (110 to 120 calories) so it's easier to fit into my day.

    Oh, I love skinny cow! I seem to forget they have the chocolate clusters and bars now, and not only ice cream! I need to get a box! thanks for reminding me.

    I say eat it and don't feeL bad about it...one of the reasons I've reverted so many times in the past is because I was denying myseLf things that I wanted...the difference now is that if I want it I wiLL eat and make up for it Later...I'm not dieting for a short period of time I'm changing my LifestyLe forever...so one candy bar is not going to mess you for a Lifetime!!!

    I agree 100%. I feel if I go too long without any sweet (because I have a big sweet tooth), and then I have one, I HAVE to keep eating them. I just wanted to see if I was the only one lol. guess not!

    Yes, I keep them in my desk. And they have dark chocolate clusters so that's even better. Of course, now I eat them on MOST days instead of just a couple times a week LOL.

    Gimme a break...

    But seriously, I would work hard to eliminate this twice-a-week habit. We only have so many calories to work with each week and any that are nutritionally weak are calories that could have also provided nutrients to our bodies. At 210 calories each, that's 420 calories a week of mostly worthless calories.

    Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that you *can't* lose weight while consistently eating candy bars, I'm saying that it is likely less-than-optimal...

    ...and potentially more difficult. In my personal experience, my cravings for candy bars (and other simple carbs) never diminished until I eliminated all of them from my diet. Once I did, I no longer craved them constantly. And when I do "indulge", those cravings come right back. Not saying I can never have sweets again, but I have them knowing that I will have to fight cravings for a while any time I do.

    I appreciate your input as it's different from everyone else! I agree they are worthless calories! I am like you in a way! If I don't have sweets for a long time and then indulge it IS harder to stop. But if I keep it in moderation (well kind of) like I do now, say the two kit kats a week or whatever, then I don't feel that I'm constantly searching for something sweet. Make sense?

    I would love to have your will power but even when I give them up for a while I still want them. :grumble:

    BUT I am trying to eliminate it. Maybe once a week will be my first step lol.

    thanks!

    Lol! That's what I'm afraid of!

    I think that if you restrict cravings too much it can cause you to crave them more and could (down the line) lead to binge eating or overindulging and so I say go for it! As long as you're still consuming a balanced diet and exercising, I say reward yourself with a little sweet treat:] It's well-deserved, I'm sure! :] Aaaand kit-kats are fraggin' delicious haha

    If it works for you, enjoy! For me, I think I have a sugar addiction. That one Kit Kat bar would lead to a binge of untold proportions. It's easier if I just don't have the first bite at all!

    Go for it I say. I do it too, I have a few times and just log it in with everything else. I am crazy for the Milky Way Midnight bars or a couple Ferrero Rocher's!

    I LOVE Ferrero Rocher's!

    This probably isn't the best title for a topic lol. But I just ate a kit-kat and it had me thinking. Now, maybe about twice a week will I buy a candy bar and eat it as long as it is within my calories and I am going to work out that day (going to the gym after work!). But honestly, who thinks that is okay and who doesn't? I want HONEST opinions because I am trying to lose weight. I started at 190 and got down to about 177, and then hit a plateau. Recently, I got back into my weightloss and lost another 3 lbs so I'm at around 174.

    But like I said I wanna know if eating candy sometimes if it is within your calories is okay. Or not? Because I know they're not healthy.

    I will not get offended, I promise! lol :laugh:

    What's your protein/fat intake like on days you have a kit-kat?

    Honestly, I mostly look at calories, BUT when I do check protein and fat, I'm never much over but pretty much right around the marks for them.

    Very true, I appreciate your honesty because most people will not admit that! Glad to see you're losing weight too and eating some of the foods you love...in moderation! I can't do what some people do and cut out sweets all together. I love them too much! :sad:
