OMG Hallowe'en candy!!

There's going to be none left for the kids!!!! I shouldn't have opened the box.

 

Technically, I shouldn't have bought it so early, or gotten all my favourite kinds.  And I guess it doesn't help that I was a candy addict before getting pg.

    DH and I are the same way when there is candy in the house.  In order to make sure I didn't eat it all before trick or treating on Sunday evening I am not buying my candy until Sunday AM.  Any left over I plan to bring to the office and put it on the community table in the break room.

    the way we deal with it at our house is that we buy candy that i love (one bag) and then a few bags of candy that i really dont care for ...that way, i still munch on the stuff i like..until its gone and i wont touch the other icky candy...then again, when we go shopping i get more of the candy i love, so i guess that doesnt work so well :)

    Oh, you mean the half eaten bag of Reese's and Kit Kats in the freezer??  LOL  We aren't even going to be home on Halloween!!  We are going to a local farm (pumpkin patch/corn maze/concert/celebration). They will have trick or treating there and a costume  contest for the kiddos.

    I bought the fun size snickers and the minature reeses peanut butter cups.  I've been snacking on them while at work and I really need to stop.  I just can't help myself though.

    LOL.  We live in the country and never get any kinds, but I always buy a bag, just in case.  What kind did you get?

    I got the Nestle box of Smarties, Kit Kat, Coffee Crisp and Aero on sale at Zellers as well as the Starburst / Skittles combo bag.  

    It's not usually this bad of a problem for me. The evening of halloween, I pop a big bowl of popcorn and nibble on that all night instead of reaching for the candy. I didn't even feel tempted last night, but today I'm so hungry and am craving sweets so badly. Gotta feed this craving monster!

    We are the same way! I opened up all the bags and put them in our Halloween serving bowls and I keep eating out of them!! (the good stuff too, all the kit kats, reeses, and almond joys are dwindling!)

    We haven't bought any yet either but its more for DH's sake than mine. I'm all about the salty snacks most of the time.

    Thought you would find this appropriate though:

    I am so glad you posted this! I am the exact same way. I try to buy my candy late b/c I always end up eating it. But I like the really junky stuff - laffy taffy, skittles, etc. All the stuff that is crappy for you!

     I can't wait til halloween is over so I can get rid of this stuff and start over on my healthy eating!!!!!

    I hope my baby doesn't become a sugar addict like ME!

    This thread is making me want candy! I bought one bag of Kit Kat snack sized and have only eaten like 3 of them, but I would eat one now if I had it. Thankfully it's safely at home, where I won't want it when the dinner time m/s kicks in. Then again- who knows!

    All bets are off if we get no trick-or-treaters:-)

    What an interesting article! It makes me feel less guilty for my indulgences.
