I luv allllll halloween candy

big packages of milk duds, butterfingers, mars bars, m & m's , Peanut Butter cups tootsie tolls - the list goes on

its very hard to find a bag that doesn't contain candy i don't like

i finally was successful/kindof

i bought 2 big bags that contained ONLY skittles and starburts

i don't like skittles at all

starburts are ok - but i can live with out them

after finding candy i won't be tempted with

won't have to deal with all that candy

as it turns out

i am now going to GA to be with those wonderful grand-kids the day before trick or treat

there will be all that candy floating around

it will be hard for me - but i'll do my best to resist

can you tell chocolates are a weakness of mine

good luck to my fellow candy lovers

Proudgrammy, I scheduled my surgery October 30th, just so that I would be in the hospital during Halloween. I am like you..I love candy!!!!

Good luck! I am waiting to buy candy until right before Halloween so it's not hanging around the house. I wanted to have a year of giving non-candy treats but my husband is convinced that the trick or treaters will turn on us.

We don't get any trick or treaters (live out in the woods). But my DH thinks he HAS to Have candy around all the time. And I am ok with that. I buy the assortments of Halloween size treats and they are in the china cabinet all year round. You know what? If I want one, I eat ONE. It's not going to derail me now, nor cause me to stall, or dump or anything else. That is the beauty of this lifestyle/eating style. I can eat anything I want, just one or two bites! LOL! Get my Protein and Water in and I will be OK!

So u get to go trick or treating with ur grandkidz? Very nice. Have loads of fun! Whe we were up in Wa a cpl wks ago visitng our grandson (only 3 mths. No trick or treating yet) I went to Walmart starving. Ended up buying 2 bags kf candy. Kit kats (which I luv) and Reeses (which I can pass on). I got 1 candy and my hubby and stepson finished off both bags b4 I saved and back for myself. Guess thTs just as well...

Ha e fun! Im sure ull do fine. Ur anpro at this. 1 pack of Starbjrst (which I luv, btw) never kklled anyone. U got this...

I've never been a big fan of candy. If there was one it would be Reese's. As long as they aren't around I'm fine...though I don't think I'd be tempted even if they were in front of me. Why take the chance?

Dark chocolate, in small quantities, is actually good for you!

@@marfar7 glad your familily "helped" you out by eating all that candy i'm a weakling - i couldn't have handled the temptation seeing the grand-kids in costumes will be fun I'll have one starburst for you, one for me too

glad to see you are back on program

you have lost a lot of weight

those 20 lbs will be a bad memory

keep up the good work

@@Camarolegend i'm green with envy that you don't care that much for chocolate

that probably is one reason yo have lost 109 lbs congrats

@@Miaoreo i've heard that eating one piece of dark chocolate is better than milk chocolate - does small amount mean one bag of butterfingers instead of two

great weight loss - keep up the good work
