This week has been full of slips...Dang Halloween! BUT I have taken control. My husband is in the military and works with a bunch of younger guys, anyway he leaves for a week every other week, so I have bagged up what is left of my kids (I have 3) Halloween candy which equaled out to an entire walmart sack full to the brim and I am sending it with him to feed to all of his co workers!!!! It was a hard thing to do, as I love Chocolate....this is something I would have never done a year ago. I am so proud of my will power.....I just feel like I am ruining the fun of eating all of their candy (cause normally they get it very seldom throughout the year) but hey if they want something sweet they have fruit they can snack on just like Mom right? I am proud of this like I said there is no way I would have done that before I decided to change my life! So I thought I would share this accomplishment!

So happy for you! I did not have one piece of candy either but I did consider letting a piece of chocolate melt on my tounge lol (i was 4 says post op). My will power is getting harder now that I'm starting to feel close to normal...stay strong!

Very proud of you! You have great willpower! Keep it up and keep telling us . . . it encourages us that we are not alone in our battle

I haven't had the willpower. I had 3 small bars a night which 150 cals the same as my pudding that I have minus the Protein. They are almost gone and then they won't be a problem. But I still don't go over my cals for the day.

Great to hear you guys are regaining control.

Wow - I'm glad I'm not the only one. Unfortunately for us, it was "big candy bar" year at our house so along with the "fun size" goodies, I've also had to wrangle with the temptation of full size M&Ms. I've been averaging three pieces a day. My thought is to bring them all to work tomorrow. Darn will power (of which there is none).

Hang in there! We're all in this together!
