AAHHHH!!! Easter Candy!!!


Quote  |  Reply
I took my 5 kids on a church Easter egg hunt today and now we have buckets of Easter candy. I'm going out of my mind. I keep straying towards the candy. There's Chocolate everywhere!!!!  I did sneak 2 small peppermint patties earlier. Anybody else with kids going through this? It is soooo hard. I'm really trying to stay good.

Im 16, And i loved candy befor i whent on my diet. It is very hard keeping away rom it when u have a little brother that loves to find the candy and not eat it. So what i do is look at it for long enough that i dont want it.

Since i go to school new a shopping center with chep candy and friends that will buy u anything ... its hard to keep away from it... Just say to yoursself that u dont need it and that stopped me from eating candy and junk food and snacking for 1 month
this is where I feel like the luckiest mom in the world-my kids can't have much sugar, because they're sensitive to it...too much and I have to nearly peel them off the ceiling!

so there's only a little wee bit of candy in my house. my kids get small toys. ^_^
Hide the candy, both from yourself and the kids.  Give them a "candy allowance" of one or two pieces per day so they don't eat themselves sick.  And as for yourself, you may wanna lock the cabinet between their allowance so the rest doesn't end up in your tummy instead!
I'm in college and my roommate brought home LOADS of Easter candy and has it sitting in the middle of the living room, right on the way to the kitchen, in a huge bucket.  We are talking Snickers eggs, cadburry eggs, caramel or peanut butter filled hersheys kisses, peanut butter M&Ms, and mini chocolate chip cookies here people!  I gave up chocolate for Lent and actually did it for the whole 40 days w/o any cheating!  So I was going to try to continue after Easter, since I had gotten used to living w/o it, but yesterday I literally ate some of all of those chocolate candy types.  Ahhhh!  Today I've gone back to no candy, but every time I go to the kitchen, it is staring me in the face!  Easter is evil (in a dieting sense, otherwise I love it)  Good luck to everyone with the abundance of candy lurking around!  Stick with it!
