And here approaches my first set of Holidays with the band.

So far, I am being very good.. anyone else having NSV moments when they pass the unbelievable amount of Halloween candies and treats??

I deliberately don't walk down candy aisles anymore as not to tempt myself.. but when I go grocery shopping now, there they are EVERYWHERE. I walk by them several times, and I hear them whisper my name.

But alas, I say NO TO YOU CANDY!!

Anyone else having these proud moments? :car:

If you need to purchase candy - I always buy something I absolutely hate (like with coconut or something in it.) It will be just a matter of time before your mouth doesn't water just looking at the candy!! My biggest problem was pop. A couple of months ago, my daughter was drinking a Dt Pepsi (which I was totally addicted to before the band) and so I just took a sip - it was nasty and acidic tasting! Never would have imagined I could think that way about Dt Pepsi but I think I am officially cured of it.

If you like butterscotches, Dollar General sells a sugar-free one that is actually very good. Most sugar-free candies are too sweet or have a funky aftertaste, but not this one. It really tastes like the real thing.
