Halloween Candy



Recommended Posts

Anyone else like me sitting here on the internet instead of plowing into the "easy to go down.....Halloween candy" at their front door!?!

I love candy!! When we got home tonight, as always, my son and I poured all of his candy in the floor. We separate the chocolate, the really cool candy, the suckers, and the not so good candy. Now he has 4 neat little bags of candy. I know, it's a little obsessive. I didn't even eat one bite, but now that everyone is in bed and I am the only one up, I am having a hard time not eating a peice.

candy was everywhere at work today. It was hell. I'm on full fluids after surgery and between my pre-op and post-op diets, I haven't had much in the way of sugar recently.

I let two little chocolates from a small package dissolve in my mouth as a "treat". Some treat - I was sick as a pooch and high as a kite.

I licked the rest of them and threw them in the trash so that I wouldn't eat them. (Fearing that simply throwing them in my trash bin, in their package, wouldn't make them unpalatable enough)

I had a little Almond Joy last night while handing out candy. It wasn't nearly as good as I remember. I did feel a little guilty but am proud of myself for staying away from the Peanut Butter cups!!

(Next year I'm buying candy I don't like - not sure why I didn't think of that this year. Old habits die hard I guess)<!-- google_ad_section_end --><!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Thank God we don't have Halloween or most of those brands (yet?)

Sounds like an obvious question but what specifically is candy? In Australia, I would divide sugar-laden junk food into three categories. Lollies (sweets?), chocolate and biscuits (or even better- chocolate biscuits).

I googled this but couldn't find an answer. Is a Snickers considered candy or is it called chocolate bar?

To me candy is.....lollipops; chocolate; candy bars (definitely Snickers!!!); jelly Beans....basically anything yummy and good!

I sent all our leftover candy to my husband's office....far out of my reach!!!!

I didn't have anything last night. I made my DH hand it out so I wouldn't even have to smell it. And I also sent some of the left overs to his work and took a bag to mine to be put on the front counter far, far, far away from my desk.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
