I cant beleive it... I did not pop 1 piece of halloween candy in my mouth this whole season. Im sorta afraid to because right now, I cant remember how good it tasted and I dont want to remind myself. It paid off - 33 lbs down today and Im actually wearing skinny jeans tucked into boots!! And I got a compliment from the very 1st person I saw today: She said I looked great in this outfit. Small victories/feeling happy!

Ooops.. I had a little candy and some alcohol...

Moderation just like anything else. I have had drinks since about 6 weeks out and have still been fairly successful.

Im 11 weeks out and I've had 2 drinks over the last 6 weeks. i choose not to drink because of the calorie count, but the alcohol doesnt affect me any differently than it did before. I did not get drunk or even tipsy off of 1 drink... Just my story

Even for those of us that were a little weak and had something naughty, just think of what damage we would do prior to surgery. We would buy our candy and then have to buy more for the trick or treaters because we had eaten it all. I would have candy wrappers stashed in my purse and would hide the evidence under the garbage so I wasnt found out. Those days are over.

I agree - I think we've all done well! Lord knows we know how hard it is!!

Congratulations!!! Well, I had 3 chocolates yesterday with my little girl. Today, I have absolutely 0 desire for chocolate. It's the craziest thing. I have NEVER been able to resist chocolate. It's almost TOM too. Normally, I would be living for that chocolate, for more, more, more!

Happy to report, I also made it candy free!

Candy free. Did not even miss it.

Sent to a Halloween party.... They served deviled eggs. Woo hoo!

Right on my " mush plan"

Not only did I stay candy free on Halloween--many, many PB cups owe their lives to me not scarfing them--I am also having to abstain from eating junk food during Diwali which is a huge festival in India.

Take all the junk food you love. Throw it in a big pile. Give yourself permission to eat all of it whenever you want. THAT is Diwali. And I can't do any of it.

I kinda felt sorry for myself yesterday but decided to Celebrate the fact that I hit 60 miles in October, I hit half way to goal today and I planked for 30 seconds now. So I guess life is about trade-offs, and I traded off.

Sigh.

I was doing great... didn't have the slightest desire for any of the candy (weird).. but my 11yr old son was so distressed at the fact that I couldn't have any. I tried to explain to him that I really didn't want any but he just kept getting more upset, probably because it's always been so important to me before. After about 20 min he said 'can't you just have one chocolate kiss mommy?' Resigned to his total pathetic-ness I said ok. He unwrapped it, kissed it, popped it in my mouth and whispered "don't tell sissy" ...too cute!
