Halloween has come and gone but unfortunately the candy remains. 18 pounds of it. My son’s haul alone was 13.2 pounds. He only weighs 77 pounds, so that’s like me bringing home 48 pounds of candy. It’s just gross.
Luckily my kids have much better willpower than I do. Our plan is to keep it around until my wife got back and then she would take the rest to work. The kids have been eating one small piece of candy after dinner and that’s been about it other than a little pigging out on Halloween night, which is simply tradition.
I did really well the first few days with these buckets of candy in the house. I had an Almond Joy or two now and again and that was about it. But yesterday I dug down a little deeper and tonight I just polished off four Reese’s Peanut Butter cups. For me it’s all about the chocolate, nothing else they have raises even a little interest.
I was hoping I had turned strong enough to avoid temptations like this but I am not there yet. Granted, I haven’t gone on a major binge like I probably would have in the past (4 Reese’s could be a drop in the bucket) but I’m still finding my hands and mouth making actions I don’t want them to make. And I can’t stop it.
This is definitely a process.

For me, I’m not big on candy, so it isn’t that bad… but an Almond Joy would REALLY put me to the test!
