My five children expect a little Halloween Party every year. So, we will be doing that this weekend because Halloween is during the school week. They dress up and watch some pre-teen scary shows on TV eat candy and pizza and run all over with their friends.

I am terrified of the candy(I bought yesterday.) I began to hear the candy talking to my cravings as soon as I got it in my house last night. I locked it away in the filing cabinet drawer in the home office. Now it sits in there wanting me to let it out so it can be mindlessly consumed by me. I should not have bought it two days early, I should not have bought it two days early..... (lesson learned). I know it is there waiting to get out....thus the reason we have "no good stuff in the house" as my kids remind me .....If I eat just one...that leads to another, and another....It is like eating popcorn...who can eat just one kernal ( I don't eat that anymore either..band issues).

I have a plan to pour it out and have the kids eat it up as fast as they can! I will try to do something else while they enjoy the scary candy hiding in my filing cabinet...... How do you curb those old habits and cravings for sweets?
