The true evil of Halloween - candy



Recommended Posts

I figured I'd have a few pieces of Halloween candy today only. I had a Snickers Peanut Butter and went to My Fitness Pal to log it and it's 130 freaking calories!! So not worth it, I'm not eating another bite.

I just decided to stay away from it. I bought crappy candy (at least crappy to me) to give out to kids this year so I wouldn't be tempted by the chocolate. I think this will be the first Halloween in my life where I don't have ONE piece of candy! If I'm closer to goal next Halloween, I may indulge in a fun size Snickers :)

No candy for me this year. Just made it through my first of two pizza parties today. This one also had a make-your-own ice cream Sunday bar. Ate lunch beforehand and wasn't tempted. dinner tonight is another pizza party. Gonna eat dinner before that one.... and bring along a Protein shake to "break open in case of emergency"!

There was all kinds of candy and donuts and Carmel apples at the office today. Drug reps bringing all kinds of crap. I didn't eat any. I will not eat Halloween candy either. Just not worth it to me. Good luck to everyone. It's cold and windy here in Michigan for the kids this year and it snowed earlier today. Yuck!

I have struggled with the candy tons for the last week. I wish in some ways that I had had gastric bypass so eating it would make me sick because it is so bad today, I can't even remember what candy I have eaten to log it. I feel like I am back where I started before surgery, out of control!

Halloween candy is evil ! I am on my pre-op diet and just got back from taking my boys trick or treating. Fortunately, we live in the major boonies so we do not get trick or treaters here. I didn't have any candy in my house to fight against. Now I think I am going to have the kids keep their candy bag upstairs just to keep the temptation out of sight. I can't walk up and down the stairs in my house so it would be safe there . We always go out to eat dinner on Halloween. We went to a local restaurant and I had a side salad no cheese, fat free dressing on the side and a bowl of Tomato basil Soup. I stayed on my pre op diet eating out which is an accomplishment!

Stay strong everyone! The few minutes of good taste isn't worth the calories or self recrimination after eating it!

This day has been a serious trap for me. I went way over my calorie limit. Definitely slider foods...yeah, I've sworn it off and getting back on the horse! Yeehaw :/

I have two boys and I ate two pieces of their candy and logged it in. Then I told them to hide their candy so I wouldn't steal any more. I don't trust myself! I am done with it. The two pieces were only because it was Halloween but no more!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
