Christmas Diet Tip #2: Halloween Candy Leftover?

Saturday November 1, 2008

The Halloween Party is OVER!
What will you do with the leftover Halloween Candy?

This morning, before anyone got up, I tip-toed into the kitchen - grabbed the leftover Halloween candy and dumped it. Down the garbage shoot ... gone! And you know what? It wasn't easy. But in the end, I felt triumphant.

I invite you to put an "X" through yesterday, as if it didn't happen and ...
MOVE ON!!!

Get rid of the candy and ...
FEEL TRIUMPHANT!!!

What will you do with the leftover Halloween loot? Dump it? Give it away? Save one or two or maybe even three pieces for another time?

Please ... share your strategies below. Let's support each other in waking up on New Year's Day THINNER than we are today!

Spread the word ... NOT the icing!
Janice

We just didn't do Halloween this year!! No gussied up front yard to lure the little Trick or Treaters to our "den of delicious but not good for you" treats. We had a nice quiet evening with the dogs inside and NO LEFTOVER candy to tempt us forever (we always overdo it). There's just too much obesity and diabetes floating around out there to aid and abet folks who need all the help we can get!! We tried handing out pencils a couple of years back and most of them ended up "planted" in our yard!!
Wish I had the money for the Christmas Diet but I wish luck to all of you who are participating. ljw :O)

I took the candy to the winter clothing distribution for victims of Hurricane Ike. I also bought some sour type candy this year...not as addicting.

We continued our Halloween tradition of "donating" our candy to my husband's office. It's a quick and easy way to get rid of all of the extra yummies lying around. This year we threw in the candy from my daughter's trick or treating. Unfortunately, she negotiated a trade agreement with my husband, and we are now the proud owners of a ridiculously obnoxious singing Barbie-type doll. I suppose it's still better than piles of candy sitting around!

Glad to have Halloween behind us...happy November, everyone!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I enjoy handing out treats to all the little "gobblins" that come to the door. I don't ever have leftover halloween candy! I buy treats every year, have enough for all who ring the doorbell, and don't have to waste one piece in the trash. How do I do it? When I've had enough fun at the door, I simply empty my treat bucket into the final trick-or-treaters' goodie bags, much to their amazed and happy faces! That always gets us a big thank you and comments like, "this is the best house ever!" Then I turn off the porch light and sip my cup of hot tea, with no treats beckoning to me.

Linda Woolsey- and anyone else who doesn't feel like they have the money for the Christmas Diet....
Janice's email program is a very small price to pay for the wit and wisdom you get in return with motivation to spare and replace a daily "junk" habit. If you actually commit to doing what she says you will come out money ahead. I promise. When I actually added up what I spent on trips to McDonalds, Diet Coke, eating out and snacks to make it through the day, I was amazed. Not near the cost of the Christmas diet. Not to mention the Dr. visits and Rx costs for hypertension and diabetes. Give yourself an early Christmas gift and try Janice's program. I have worked with Janice and she is the real deal.
