Candy is my one " no-no " food now that I'm on maintenance. The three weeks

before I started my diet/exercise program, I just examined my habits. I

realized that candy bars were a *major* contributor to my excess weight.

In the long run, candy bars aren't filling, and it's easy to overeat them. I

tended to buy one every time I went to the grocery store. That was a lot of

excess calories.
