Curse you Candy Corn!

 I forgot how much I love that stuff!  And of course it is the season for it.  What the heck was I thinking when I bought a bag of it to serve at my little get together at my house today.  Stupid, stupid, stupid thing to do. Now it is just sitting there calling my name.

Well, today is one of those days where temptation will call and I will resist to answer.  I know it is all in my head.

Agree...the stuff is wicked.  You might surprise yourself if you have one...it
will be waaaay too sweet and not what you thought it was. I know b'cuz I
LOVED the stuff and tried it myself...blech!  It's the smell that's heavenly...
but the taste is well....blech....all sugar.  You can resist because the
reward is worth it.  My cure however was to actually eat one.  Good luck!

 Ok, I ate one, to see if I hated it.  Nope, it was like heaven, better then I remember.  BUT!  I know what too much sugar does to me and I am afraid of sugar and high fat.  I don't dump like others, I have my own unique way.  I get horrible stomach pains, gas, then I fall asleep for like 2 hours.  It's nuts!

I totally bought four bags of halloween candy today at target!  It was on sale for two bags for four dollars and I love handing out candy on halloween, so this is just the beginning of what I will purchase.  I did eat one vanilla midge (tootsie roll)! and I'm not feeling guilty!
  
best wishes,

It is evil and must be destroyed!  And no eating it doesn't count toward its destruction!!! (whhahhhaaa - that's my evil laugh)

My 11 year old brought some home the other day....ooohhh....ahhhh....ooohhh...ahhhh.  I resisted, but barely.  The thought of dumping on all that sugar scares the hell out of me.  I'm normally not a dumper - but pure sugar, not a good idea for me....

Now those little Reeces shaped like Pumpkins - those would be my downfall and are not allowed in my house or even within a 10 ft radius!  lol

Eating a few will not kill you, it actually may help you... Meaning, I craved chocolate.. Well I ate a couple bites of  Reece Cup. And I dont dump or puke, just get a upset stomach. But let me tell you I wont be eating chocolate anytime soon! Been 3 months and I have NO DESIRE for it!!

 Made a snack mix for my preschooler's class the other day, and added a touch of the candy corn harvest mix-you know, the one with the giant candy corn pumpkins?! Well, I ate some of it, and got really sick!! Had to throw the leftovers away, for fear of eating any more of it! I used to be a choc-a-holic, but, now worried I am a candycorn-a-holic! LOL!
