Painful!

rachwms — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:22:48 -0600

I am on day two of no sugar and it is SO HARD!!! Not sure I can keep it up. I had a dream last night of chocolate cake.

It's hard to say no to candy...

It's hard to say no to candy...but that is exactly what I am determined to do.

I love the Halloween pencil idea....

Catherine Morgan — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:07:14 -0500

Handing out Halloween pencils is a great idea. Maybe I'll buy a bunch the day after Halloween when everything is 50-75% off, and save them for next year.

no candy

So Kelly, what's the price you pay if you don't buy candy and keep your porch light off and the drapes closed? The other parents let their kids riot?

Catherine; do what's best FOR YOU.

I'm not buying ANY candy for ANY kids. I'm not putting temptation in my house so some sugar crazed stranger child can be happy. I'm in control.

Give out Halloween pencils!

You're right. The sight of so much Halloween candy will be a real temptation for all of us. I know it will be hard for me to pass it all up. I admire your courage in overcoming these treats every where you look. I usually feel it is my duty to try every type of candy during this season but I will make every effort to leave it all alone. Man, this is going to hurt. casino online

Good luck with your skinny jeans...

I'm sure no one will egg your house over yucky candy, and you'll look great in your skinny jeans this Christmas.

My biggest candy weakness...

Catherine Morgan — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:26:05 -0500

Hi Nancy. My favorite candies are Kit-Kats, Snickers, and M&Ms...I can easily pass them up...unless I find them in the freezer. My biggest candy weakness is frozen chocolate.

Tattoos

UnplannedCooking — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:16:43 -0500

We've stopped giving out candy (mostly I'm the one who eats it ;) and give out tattoos instead. The kids love them!

I'll be buying candy right before the kiddos show up...

seesarashrink — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:01:22 -0500

I agree with the tips above. I have always purchased Halloween candy WAY in advance and eaten most of it before the kids have chosen costumes much less rung my doorbell! This year, since I'm losing weight and getting healthy, I'm going to purchase candy Halloween afternoon, at the last possible moment. I'm also going to buy cheap, yucky stuff that no one will like. Feel free to egg my house, Little Monsters, but I will fit into my skinny jeans by Christmas!!

For trick-or-treaters I give

njgeiger — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:50:14 -0500

For trick-or-treaters I give out little toy type of things. I never BUY candy - enough just sort of comes my way without doing that! But, I do know you can freeze it! :)

Non-candy options won't fly

Kelly Logan — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:11:57 -0500

Non-candy options won't fly in this neighborhood, but I love the tip on only buying candy that you don't like.

To some degree at least. The question always is how do we find the balance between them. If you ever figure it out you'll let the rest of us know right?
