Halloween Candy = The Enemy

Ugh, Halloween. Its a fun time but not always when you're trying to watch your waistline. This time of year in general is always hard. I told myself I was going to be strong today, that it was going to be another good day and I was NOT going to cave and give in to all the yummy candy.

Well I get to work this morning and the first thing my boss tells me? "I brought in some Halloween goodies and hot chocolate and apple cider!" Kill me, just kill me now. I stayed strong until about noon when I was starving and turned to two pieces of Laffy Taffy to hold me over until lunchtime. (I just looooove taffy! I couldn't resist the powers of the taffy anymore!)

Anyways I made it through the rest of the day at work without much more fault, except for the small cup of hot chocolate. Again, I couldn't resist that one either, I was freezing and it was so damp and dreary out. The hot chocolate tasted amazing. So once I got home, my mom was pulling out the nine (yep, NINE bags of chocolate just sitting there torturing me) bags of Halloween candy to give out to the trick-or-treaters tonight. My boyfriend came over soon after to visit and of course, he dove right in with a Twix bar. Seeing him sitting there eating that chocolate made me so jealous that I just had to have some! So I had a Milky Way, figuring one little bar wouldn't hurt me.

Three little candy bars later, I now feel incredibly guilty and kind of sick. Why are they so addicting? I ended up eating two Milky Ways, a Twix, and a Three Musketeers. At least they're the tiny fun-sized bars, but still. I'm trying to be good and stick to this diet and eating candy is not the way to do it! I have to stay focused, especially through the holidays coming up. Just trying to stay strong right now!

Had to throw in a quick picture though too. Me and my boy handing out candy tonight. Of course I put on my Minnie Mouse ears, gotta be festive!

And a picture of the pumpkins we carved this year. I did a breast cancer ribbon and he did the Joker. I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween though, depression over my candy binge aside! :)
