Evil...
Halloween candy is a real challenge for me. I'm not sure why, as I can resist so many things. I think that Halloween candy takes me back to my childhood and my need to self-medicate to deal with deep emotional emptiness. I think of Halloween candy and I crave it.
I've told my family that I will not participate in buying or handing out candy. I know I can resist it, but I will feel terribly deprived, and I don't want to deal. So they will either do it or not. I'm going to make sure I'm not home for it.
I'm curious to hear how are other people dealing?
best wishes,
Carol

Carol - this year we didn't buy candy to hand out. We got these large tubs of pre-packaged pretzels and cheese puffs (in cute Halloween packaging) to hand out to the neighborhood kids. If we have any leftovers my hubby will take them to his office on Friday to share with his co-workers.
I probably could have handled being around the candy this year...but why tempt fate, right?
