That's a big reason I'm not doing Halloween this year. Last year I ate myself into a chocolate frenzy. And then I went on a diet. I don't want to go on a diet this year :-)
I bought a mix of stuff candy bars, lollipops, gum, and last year we had to go and get more, this year I had a ton left over. Now I'm stuck with it. Reeses I don't think would've made it in our house. I would have had to buy them the day of.
I try not to buy all of my favorites or I may be tempted to eat it all up. I do love going through my kid's bags to see what I can eat...we trick or treat Friday night.
Good thing those are not at my house - I'd have them in the freezer and then eat them every time I passed by, until they were gone, which would be like 2 hours...
We give them whatever is the cheapest, and keep the good stuff for ourselves. Or I do anyway, my wife is a diabetic -- but I'm sensitive about it -- I eat in the other room.
Yum! I'll tell you, I went to Target yesterday to pick up some last minute costume accessories and it was SOOO hard not to grab a few bags of my favorite. Reese's are one of mine too! I have a feeling weigh in this week won't be so good. ;)
Ugh...me to! I hold off buying candy until the last minute because I know I'll eat it all if I don't. But I ordered mine through the mail this year and it's already here...tempting me!
I buy my favorites because I am pretending they are for the trick or treaters that have never come. So I know the candy is for me and I misss trick or treating,and etting a whole pillowcase full of candy. So the truth is I buy me favorites and then eat them up, have you got any M&M's? Yeah Micheal Jackson did some good halloween stuff, he still looked like a black man then.
Oh, yummy! I don't buy the good stuff to hand out. I steal the good stuff from my kids. They are starting to get too old and are wanting to keep it all to themselves. Darn!
P.S. I love the music. I usually hate music on blogs, but I didn't hit the mute button this time. :)
Haven't bought halloween candy in about 17 years. Living rural down a dark and long private drive with a gate has its advantages. Nary a kit kat or reeses pass my lips on the bewitching night. : )
I wonder if here will be any left for the trick-or-treaters.
This is why I wait until the last minute and buy cheap, nasty candy, because that bowl right there would not make it until Friday in my house.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteI don't even have enough Twix bars left to take a picture!
hahaha, i have the same problem!
ReplyDeleteThat's a big reason I'm not doing Halloween this year. Last year I ate myself into a chocolate frenzy. And then I went on a diet. I don't want to go on a diet this year :-)
ReplyDeletePeace - D
I live in the boonies, so we get to eat ALL the candy we buy. For some reason, I still buy enough candy to give to trick or treaters.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha too funny. That's why you should hand out something like...apple slices? lol
ReplyDeleteWe haven't opened our bags, that keeps us out of it. Good luck!
ReplyDeletelol, good luck! We've been through a couple bags already, so now we're waiting until the day of!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
I know! It is so hard not to just eat all of it! At least you're prepared though, I haven't even bought candy yet...

ReplyDeleteI do the same thing. My husband just had to hide the candy. I have no idea where it is. But it's working!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing. My logic is that if there is candy left over, I don't want it to be something I don't like! I love me some PB and Chocolate!
ReplyDeleteThose look yummy!
ReplyDeleteI have already had to buy more Halloween candy due to my DH and his sweet tooth.

Yes, those would be totally gone at my house right now. You must have somebody hide them for you.
ReplyDeleteI tent to buy my favorite too. I think it is so that I can have some! Next year I am going to buy my least favorite...if I remember :)
ReplyDeleteWe give them whatever is the cheapest, and keep the good stuff for ourselves. Or I do anyway, my wife is a diabetic -- but I'm sensitive about it -- I eat in the other room.
ReplyDeleteThis would be why I chose to get stickers and playdoh this year! I end up eating all the candy, too. I still need to send you my best ghost story.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could leave that bowl alone--those are my fav too!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
p.s.--love the boys' fall pics on your sidebar--so cute!
Yum!!! My favorite also, I steal all of my kids when they are sleeping after halloween!
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll be a popular house, though!
ReplyDeleteI always buy those 100 grand bars and eat the majority of the bag before Halloween. I just can't stop myself.
ReplyDeleteThis year, I'm not buying anything since we basically live in a retirement home. That will save a few pounds going straight to my behind.
Yum! I'll tell you, I went to Target yesterday to pick up some last minute costume accessories and it was SOOO hard not to grab a few bags of my favorite. Reese's are one of mine too! I have a feeling weigh in this week won't be so good. ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't you know you aren't supposed to OPEN the bag until Halloween day???
ReplyDeleteThose would be gone by morning in our house.
ReplyDeleteI plan to finish off a bag of Snickers tonight, and I'm totally OK with it.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Those are my favorite, too. I received an email asking parents to not hand out candy containing peanuts to kids.
ReplyDeleteNo Problem! More for me :)
Ugh...me to! I hold off buying candy until the last minute because I know I'll eat it all if I don't. But I ordered mine through the mail this year and it's already here...tempting me!
ReplyDeleteWe have similar taste - reeses, kit kats & snickers :) I just opened my bags today - I may be in trouble!!!
ReplyDeleteYum... look at you, all festive with the music and pumpkins!!! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm hungry just looking at those! I have to buy Bit o Honey for my poor trick or treaters, otherwise the cupboard would be bare!
ReplyDeleteMy pregnant self has already eaten four packs of Halloween candy ...
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised they are still even there when I refresh the monitor because in my mind I ate them. All.
ReplyDeleteYum. I LOVE those! And I KNOW I can't keep those in the house without eating them.
ReplyDeleteThose are my favorites too.
ReplyDeleteTake care - Kellan

ReplyDeleteOh, man--how can I get that far north for Halloween? If I mail you a picture of myself in a kid's costume, will you mail me a Reese cup?
ReplyDeleteLOL. I was seriously thinking the same thing! I bought Kit Kats this year.
ReplyDeleteShaking my fist.
Oh, yummy! I don't buy the good stuff to hand out. I steal the good stuff from my kids. They are starting to get too old and are wanting to keep it all to themselves. Darn!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love the music. I usually hate music on blogs, but I didn't hit the mute button this time. :)
Love the fall make over! But you threw me when "Kat" popped up in my email!
ReplyDeleteI always get the candy we like too, because we give away 3 pieces and then, yeah!, More for us!
I'm so proud of myself; this year I bought 2 bags of GOOD candy, wrapped them up and hid them in the kitchen. And we haven't touched them YET!
ReplyDeleteHaven't bought halloween candy in about 17 years. Living rural down a dark and long private drive with a gate has its advantages. Nary a kit kat or reeses pass my lips on the bewitching night. : )
ReplyDeleteOh no! That would so NOT fly at my house for MANY reasons. Those are my favorite!! How do you keep the boys from drooling over them?
ReplyDeleteAnd what's your address again? ; )
yummy yummy! I love those too!
ReplyDeleteBrittany
Um, yeah...you should know better than that! I learned that trick last year. So this year it's pixie sticks. Yuck!! LOL.
ReplyDeleteHi Kat,
ReplyDeleteHappened upon you from Frog and Toad...
I do the same thing--buy my favorites! I usually end up going through quite a few before we get trick-or-treaters.
Fun to meet another midwest mommy!
