Why do all holidays seem to involve food? The kids don’t even like candy that much and now we have baskets of the stuff. I’m not super into sweets, but having pounds of candy laying around isn’t helpful to the cause!

It would be so much easier if those plastic eggs were just filled with hard boiled eggs.

I usually don't crave sweet. But, I have my chocolate or carb weak moments . I tell my husband to hide or take to work any temptation foods when I'm struggling.

I do dip strawberries in hershey's chocolate sugar free syrup or have a quest chocolate flavored protein bar to kill the craving.

Haha great idea That’s what the kids are getting next year!

How would you like to be allergic to chocolate like me? No true joy there in a cocoa world. Alas I still have a few nemesis left -like Reeses pieces and Payday bars.Whipped cream, Maraschino cherries and Caramel syrup. Lead me not into Blondie Brownies and Iced Sugar Cookies. I have food-dar, I'll find them on my own![emoji497][emoji512][emoji511][emoji513]

My kids got nuts in their plastic eggs this year (Easter Bunny pranked them for April Fools)

I bit a Cadbury Egg. i'll admit it. They're my favorite Easter candy. One little bite...and it was freaking wonderful...and disgusting...all at the same time.

Handed it off to my daughter immediately to keep from re-offending. And did not do it in my house.

For some reason, I feel better about a bite of a "special occasion treat" when I don't bring it into my house. How weird is that? Also...there have to be support people present. LOL. I have a lot of weird rules about consuming naughty things I need to be kept accountable for.

It's like....I think drinking is worse when done alone and secretively at home. If my family sees me bite that egg...and quit after a bite....it's safe. (weird new safety parameters for a weird new life)

Throw it out!
