It wasn't the candy


Halloween isn't hard for me for the candy, though Clara did come home with a few favorites. I can usually resist candy. My downfall is my family, my extended family who LOVES to cook and we all LOVE to eat. Halloween is my sister's birthday so it's a pretty busy day for us full of lots of food and LOTS of desserts. We had her party early in the day, had some soup, a couple home made donuts, I had been saving up my points for the day just for this. I figured I could be really good for the rest of the day. We then head over to my cousins house for an open house and trick or treating. I thought I could resist all that food but it was just too hard. My family cooks too dang good!! So I unfortunately ate a lot, I don't even know how much, I didn't even keep track, I just know I used up ALL my extra points in one night, so sad!!! Some how I didn't gain weight and even went down a pound. This unfortunate day has made me realize this is going to be harder than I thought. I am too weak on holidays when the food is all around so my plan is just do as best I can until Thanksgiving and then just let myself give in. If the food isn't in front of me I can resist it, but put all that good stuff in my face and it will go in my mouth. How did the rest of you guys do for Halloween?? I have only eaten 2 twizzlers.

Um, I had 2 mini size twix and about 8 mini 3 muskateers because they are supposed to be the lowest pt candy bar....I counted them as 1 a peice. I didn't go over, but I didn't feel good. Luckily my family is too old and big to hang out for holidays so we have no fun with family...boo! I'm jealous!
