So tempting...

It's hard to resist the temptation of your favorite food when it's sitting right in front of you - and right now it's all that Halloween candy. If I could make a suggestion, just don't even buy any of it until Saturday; don't worry, there will be some left. When you do buy it, unless you're prepared to eat as much as you pass out, buy something you don't like (licorice, yogurt covered raisins, etc.). I know what I'm talking about, believe me. It's very true that just seeing food makes you want it; your mind starts playing games with your stomach, and you just can't take your eyes away - pretty soon you've gone through most of the little candy bars we all love. I have done it many times, so this year I'm not getting any until late in the day, and that bowl of stuff I don't really care about is all going to get passed out. For me it can be suckers or skittle-type candies; the kids will still like it, but I'll be able to hold off. Sure, my husband isn't going to like this idea, so I might get one bag of the good stuff, but then I have to be prepared to have one or two (or three!) myself. You know how it goes...have a good week! Melissa
