100 Pounds or More To Go

Hi all!

Hope you've all enjoyed Halloween. Now, I have a question for all of you. How do you handle being around all the Halloween goodies? Whether you trick-or-treat with your kids, or you just buy candy to give out, we all seem to be surrounded by goodies at this time of year. So. How do you buffer yourself from all the treats?

I have the children's loot bags stored out in the car. When dh comes home from work, he brings the bags in with him so the kids can eat some of their junk after supper. Then back out to the car the bags must go! ...If not, I'd eat it.

What other strategies might you suggest to me so I wouldn't have to keep my kids stuff under lock and key? Do any of you have other coping skills?

I don't have kids, and in the city, children only go to the houses of people they know - so usually not a problem.

But this year I was at my mother's, and she had Kraft Caramels - probably in my Top Ten category - and she had made  fudge...I went with the 'It's only once a year' and indulged...back to reality today...the good thing is that it ws a weekend day, and I usually get a little indulgent, so it probabl wasn't that much more than normal.
