"Lay off the frickin' halloween candy" challenge

I'm in.  I discovered this week that I don't dump. Damn those hershey's with almonds!

I'm really enjoying the roasted pumpkin seeds this week though. Delicious!!

You're on Boner!

I have yet to touch candy - and am too scared too!

Except, er.. I did have some cherry pie at Village Inn a few weeks ago...

But I can stay away from the candy!

I'm in. I have not had candy or sweets for a very long time.  Im afraid of dumping, but I do want a drink.  Don't know what will happen then.

Hey Boner....Happy Halloween!!! Thanx for putting out this challenge...I've been dreading my first Halloween post WLS. I have always loved candy....especially chocolate. My lovely wife bought enough candy to feed an entire grammar school!! (I think my sweet tooth transferred to her after my surgery.) But I had RNY so I'm afraid of dumping anyway...but it will be a real challenge!! Hope I'm up for it!!

I'm in.   Walked around the neighborhood with my daughter and let her fill her bag full of the stuff.  I haven't really been tempted and am still scared of dumping.  Thank goodness this is not a big temptation for me right now.

Damn, I wish I'd have checked-in yesterday.

I was really good last night, though. I ate a bite-sized AbbaZabba and called it quits.

I guess my challenge will be not eating any MORE candy since the kids have a truck-load of it now.

I'm IN!

same here. I tore into the candy last. I didn't check this section out yesterday.

I am in the same boat as carrtje and Tom B.  If I had read this yesterday evening, I might have had the mental trigger to stop what is a near automatic response for Halloween.  I hope I will do better next year.

Now for Thanksgiving, thankfully it will just be my wife, kids, and my Mom.  Any suggestion out there from the veterans for how to make it through the next two holidays without feeling like a stuffed pig?

I did fine with the Halloween candy, but I gotta confess: I went to an academic meet at a neighboring technical college on Saturday and in the hospitality room there was donuts, and turnovers, and pound cake, and banana nut bread, and muffins. I declined on all of them. But there was also some homemade chocolate chip cookies. And they kicked the everlovin' **** out of me. About six of them ganged up on me and whupped my ass. I'll be walking an extra mile or two per day all week long because of those guys.
