    HOPEFULLY!?!?!! GIRL! Did you just feel me roll my eyes at you? By this time next year, you'll be stuffing it full of tissue and wearing it as a pumpkin costume. I have NO doubt.

    I don't plan to. But if I do it will be a small piece. Since I can actually buy clothes off the rack now, I bought a Halloween sweater this year. I have been wearing it all month to get my money's w

Not one piece!!! I'm afraid of what it will do to my stomach. Sleeved 09/06/16. I bought four big bags for the trick or treaters. The kids were excited to get the candy.

I have been wearing it all month to get my money's worth since hopefully it will be too big next year!

I've had four or five minis between yesterday and today. They were yummy, but not exciting. I am definitely PMSing or I'd probably only had one or two. This is the only time of the month I really want chocolate.

Four or five isn't great, but considering that pre-op I would have massacred the whole bag, it's great. At three and a half years post op, I also know what I need to do to counter that chocolate. :)

Nope, not tempted too much by candy...on the other hand my hubby is sitting across from me eating a huge bag of freshly popped buttery popcorn. I'm staring daggers right now. Popcorn is my kryptonite. I could live on popcorn alone. Oh I could seriously kill him right now....then take his popcorn...

I am a huge advocate of allowing yourself to eat some junk sometimes, and Halloween seems like as good a time as any to have a few pieces of candy. I didn't have any candy at all, and it didn't occur to me that I might want any. I tend to stay away from sweets because they both make me gain weight and make me feel sick, but it took probably about 2 years post-sleeve to get to a point where I can really say that I don't much care about candy anymore.

I had a couple of pieces yesterday. I figured it was Halloween so go ahead and have a treat. But today is November 1st, not Halloween anymore, so therefore back on the wagon I go! We didn't get many trick or treaters this year, so tonight I did up bags of candy to take to my co workers tomorrow. If it's not in the house there's no temptation for me to eat it.
