Survive Halloween



This is holiday season. We start with Halloween & go through New Years with parties, family gatherings, friend get togethers and food everywhere. Well, let's start with Halloween. How to get through it. I saw a good article on this & it spoke to exactly what I do.. DON'T BUY CANDY TO GIVE OUT THAT YOU LIKE!!!!! PICK CANDY THAT YOU ARE NOT FOND OF OR IS JUST NOT WORTH THE CALORIES.

Another suggestion is to buy bags of mini toys that are now available at stores & the large warehouses like Costco. They also have healthier versions of give outs like pretzels or lower fat animal cookies.

You can also buy everything last minute so you are not tempted by the candy "staring" you in the face. And, on that night, keep healthier versions of treats handy for yourself. If you must indulge, keep it to ONE and move on. There is no need to eat everything in sight & feel like "you know what" the next day.

This works really well. And if there's leftover, take it to the office or volunteer work or church to share.
