Halloween Candy

Most years Halloween was a time to gorge myself on Butterfingers, Snickers, Tootsie Rolls, Licorice, and Candy Corn. But this year has been different. Having weened myself off sugar about 3 months ago, I’ve decided I’ll leave the candy to the kids (in moderation) and take the rest to work. I’m sure for the next couple of weeks, a bag or bowl of candy will be brought into work to share with everyone. I don’t really have candy cravings very much these days although those “snack size” Reeses Peanut Butter Cups looked really good today.

This must be a tough time to start a diet with all the junk around the office and it only seems to get worse around Christmas. Pretty soon a number of our clients will be sending us gift baskets loaded with cookies and brownies and all sorts of sugar-loaded confections. I’m glad I started a few months ago or I don’t know if I’d have the will-power to pass on all the goodies.
