Last year I probably ate 30 tootsie roll pops and 10 regular size bags of sweet tarts before it was all over. ha And a few Skittles. Skittles used to be my drug of choice. I could eat them all day. However, diabetes shed a new color of the rainbow on that ole Skittles bag. Haven't had any in 27 weeks. I really craved them bad for a while but haven't had any... even a small 15 gm of carbohydrate size bag for a snack... because I am afraid that it might make me start to crave them again. So I had 2 small things last night that satisfied my HALLOWEEN candy desire... and stayed away from the Skittles altogether. I have never liked Halloween as far as a holiday. But I loved the candy. Now it's just another day. Actually diabetes is changing my view on a whole lot of holidays. I think my focus in the past has always been centered around the FOOD that would come during the celebration of certain holidays, like Thanksgiving and Christmas... and chocolate eggs at Easter and big cookouts on the 4th, etc. But now I am having to learn to focus more on the relationship with family and friends I will get to see during those events and the real depth of meaning behind each of those days... rather than focusing on the food. I believe God wants me to grow up a little and sorta has used the fact that I have diabetes to help that progress along. My how things change.

I bought candy and gave it out to the kids that came by, but didn't want any myself.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 > How many of you ate a piece of Halloween candy? Since I was just back from ye olde doctor's office, I didn't eat any. (Did have a couple of glasses of OJ, though.) I had bought 210 candy bars for distribution on Halloween a month ago (2 pkts of 105 each, from Sam's Club) and it was all gone by 6:45p. You know, there are some parents skulking out there in the shadows, sending their toddlers up the steps. The little things can hardly lisp out " Trick or treat! " and they're out there soliciting sweets. I have a strong suspicion that they have to share with their parents or other protectors. There is an enormous amount of obesity in this community. I was told that it was the location of one of the earliest obesity studies ever done, and with good reason. I start out very cheerful on halloween, but after watching this endless parade of rather desperate-looking adults with their kids (some of them take their kids around in cars!) I'm depressed. I guess I'm weightist, to some degree, but I console myself that I have a reasonable perspective on this sugar habit business. That said, I met some adorable little people last night! I've just moved to this part of town, and I'm enjoying the kids in the neighborhood. Arch, apologizing for carrying on . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 ONE piece you ask? I broke the record snitching the little chocolate candy bars.I am eating one as we speak. Oh well, I guess I just have to start anew. Darn, and I did so good last year! Love, Debbie Halloween Candy We do not get " trick or treaters " in our neighborhood (too far back in the woods).

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Way to go Shirley! I think concentrating on family and friends is the thing to do. My kids, unfortunately are at the age that the food is important to them on certain holidays. I just let them have their halloween pumpkins and am letting them eat til they are sick of it.
