Halloween candy is EVIL!

Especially those little tiny chocolate bars that call to me, late at night, "Come eeeeat me, I am deeeeelicous, what will one teeeeeeny chocolate bar hurt, I am like 60 calorieeeees, you know you waaaaant me..."

Damn you mini KitKat bars! You lie! What will one bar hurt? You know I can never stop at one! Ten mini bars later and my stomach is killing me and I'm wracked with dieter's guilt and I have stomach "issues" all the next day!!

On the plus side, my tummy "issues" have traumatized me so badly that I've sworn off any and all Halloween candy -- I can barely bring myself to look at the bulging bag of goodies when I reach in there in the morning to grab one piece each for the boys' lunches. (One piece, haha, I'm a "cruel" mom, as Ardan said, because "all the other moms put like ten pieces in their kids lunch!" Oh ya RIGHT, Ardan, I can be spacey but I'm not that dumb!)

I am bound and determined to lose at least ten pounds before Christmas because there's a pair of pants I want to wear at the holiday get-togethers. To quote my new hero: "Yes I can!"

Oh My God those candies were gone in just two hours in my house!

So, I go to the local Walgreens to buy six bags of candy, CHOCOLATE CANDY, for the "trick-or-treaters"...
At least, that's what I told myself but I knew no more than 5 kids would come knocking at my door.

I propped myself on the couch with the bucket of goodies watching scary movies all night! lol

That's why I encourage you to bring the kids over, BeauSaxon, as the last stop of the night - the outdoor lights go off and my grandbabies get the rest of the chocolate bars and chips. I know I'll never live the story down of the night I ate 100 chocolate bars in one night the night before Halloween so consequently, I will never allow that to happen again. Better to give my temptation to the grandbabies and have their mother deal with it LOL.
