No candy this Oct!

[M2G 1,836]

Okay, today is Oct. 29th, and it just hit me. I have not had a single piece of candy this Oct.

I knew I would be having VSG surgery in Oct, and didn't want to buy any Halloween candy early on. Then I had surgery on Oct. 22, and of course now I CAN'T eat any candy but heck I am realizing what a victory going 22 days in Oct. without a single piece of candy is! Awesome!!!

I did have to go and buy some for this weekend, but it is hidden (for now) out of sight out of mind.

That is great, I know this time of year can be very tough for many of us. But, if we do everything in moderation, we can succeed.

I'm 4 weeks out and I won't lie, I am struggling with the no candy. My sweet tooth is not gone and every time I go to the store, I want to grab an assorted bag of candy. I haven't done it but it's REEEEEALLY hard. Sigh.

I'm just 6 days out and I'm so thankful that I physically cannot eat candy right now. I also have an intense sweet tooth and the pounds of candy that my kids bring home normally means additional pounds on me. Hoping that next year, when I can actually eat it, moderation will be on my side!

I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow, so I am def. experimenting with new foods and able to handle things better now. I admit I have dipped into what the kids came home with, but I think I've done well with just picking one or two of the things I love the most, and the rest is just there. I physically just cannot eat A LOT, so even if I feel like I've slipped and eaten something not so healthy.. I still think I am better off than before. I KNOW I am. Good job everyone! All in moderation, yes!

I had had 3 pieces of bite size candy over the past two weeks. Snickers made me higher than a kite. KitKat tasted good and seemed to calm my sweet tooth. Then tonight (Halloween) I had an Almond Joy. The coconut did not sit well in my stomach at all.

I've had 6 little candies between trick or treating yesterday and today. I so wanted one of the fun size candy bars but I resisted. I'm sending the rest of it to work with hubby tomorrow. GET IT OUT OF HERE!
