Lose weight the fun way.

Only one week to go, and Halloween is this week! My eating usually goes south near Halloween with all the candy floating around. Anybody have any strategies for avoiding the candy and staying on track with my eating plan so I can win this DietBet game?

If you haven't already opened your candy, don't open it until you're about to give it away. Try to cut out sugar from your diet now. If you can train yourself not to have sugar now, if you eat the candy it will taste too sweet and you won't enjoy it (this is where I'm at for myself - the candy doesn't even taste good to me anymore and I don't enjoy it). Whatever is left after Halloween, get out of the house ASAP. If you have kids and can't get rid of their candy, bag it up and put their names on it. That's theirs. It's not for you. See, it has their name on it. Respect that. :laughing:

I was also going to suggest having fruit alternatives around

I’ve made a point to figure out lower calorie sweets that work in different situations. Fruit works sometimes but many times if I want candy, that won’t end until I get candy. I love those nerds clusters, 100 cals for 17 pieces and sometimes I’m good after just a couple! I keep these little Talenti mango sorbet bars in the freezer always, 45 calories and just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. Then I’ll actually keep bite size candy on me for when I’m in the office or running errands, 1-2 helps satiate the craving and stops me from grabbing a much larger treat like ice cream or binging larger candy servings!
