So I took my kids out begging for candy (aka trick or treating) and they loved it and I loved seeing them so happy... but I did something I should not have done... they were given those little snack size 3 musketeers and they gave me one. I should have said no - but I didn't, I was too wrapped up in the fun and excitement....

So I have determined it is :pirate Halloween's fault and I am not at fault!!! So Halloween is evil. LOL...

And yes - I ate it... and it was great!!!

But boy oh boy did I feel sick later... uggggg.... first sugar I have had in .... over a month...

Anyone else have a piece of EVIL :heh: Halloween candy this year?

Not me. We (DH & I) had 2 of my step-daughters last night. They went trick or treating while I was passing out candy to the neighborhood. I didn't eat any. When it was over I still had a ton of candy left over in spite of passing out handfulls. So I took the bowl and dumped it in the step-daughters' bags. They took it home. Thank God!!!

My doc said I could have one piece of candy...so I did!! It was wonderful...

My doc's guidelines are simple:

Don't eat cake Cookies, candie or whatever else on a regular basis. But he also says we have to live as well. So he allows you to have a cookie or a couple of bites of cake or even one piece of candy as long as it is once in a great while.

That's ok by me. I can look forward to the special occasions and not feel guilty if I go to a wedding and have a sliver of cake.

But daily, I stay away from the evil stuff...LOL:bounce:

I admit it, I had one of those fun packs of malted milk balls. It tasted really good, but boy did it hurt later. It was enough for me to say enough. I won't be trying that again any time soon.

That is what happened to me... I ate it but paid for it later... I did notice that about 15-20 mins later I wanted food... rumbly tummy and all. It must have been the insulin release from the pancreas caused by the sugar that did it. I still don't feel great today ... then again - I had half of a tootsie roll today... Uggggg.... Thank goodness the kids ate all the chocolate and I can't have anymore......

Probably gained a pound just for thinking it.... LOL
