To make a long story short, I have three small children, and we just got home from "Pre-Halloween" trick or treating at their preschool.
Now back when I used to do Weight Watchers they would always say, "Don't buy the candy until Halloween, and then buy something you DON'T like." Okay, so I like ALL candy except the "crappy" kind - You hand that stuff out, and your house gets egged, but I digress. I have candy in my house!!!!!!!!!!!!
A brief history of me and candy - I CAN'T STOP EATING IT ONCE I START!!!! ESPECIALLY (free) open bags of candy, IN MY HOUSE! I've gotten full off of m&ms before. Do you know how many m&ms you have to eat to get FULL?? It's a lot. Another way to describe me. Do you remember the shark named "Bruce" in "Finding Nemo?" He holds an AA type meeting for sharks who want to stop eating fish. Remember the line, "fish are friends, not food?" And then the second he gets the scent of fish blood up his nose he goes NUTS trying to eat Marlin and Dory, and then says in a crazed Jack Nicholson type way from "The Shining", "I'm having FISH tonight!" Well, that would be me with chocolate. Against my better judgment, I had a Reese's cup at the school, and now I'm like a heroin addict looking for her next hit!
I'm not going to pretend I'm stronger than I am, so I've told my husband to hide our children's candy. He may even have to keep it in his car when he goes to work on Monday, because I know ME. I know that come 3pm I'll start searching for it. I just can't even have that temptation in my house.
I guess this isn't a real S.O.S since I seem to have a plan in place. But I KNOW that there is at least one of you reading this, who has the same weakness as me. Get YOUR plan in place so you're not tortured like I was a little while ago. :-)
