I'm currently unemployed and I have to say, not being in the office has been the biggest deterrent from overindulging with the holidays. I didn't even start to worry about Halloween candy this year and I'm realizing this is the first time in the years since I've been working that I'm not concerned. There's just so much PRESSURE to eat the treats people made or candy corn on their desk or whatever. I would never go out and buy that stuff myself, but I'll eat a ton of it at work. Gah.

The only time I would ever TOUCH candy is that day after Halloween. On other days I remember all the chemicals and JUNK in it and have no desire to eat it. P.S.

I actually never want the candy the day of Halloween (maybe because my dad has everyone over and sets out amazing trays of veggies, fruits, whole foods pizza, etc) but the day after? watch out. I usually combat it by picking 2 of my absolute favorites and eating them without a drop of guilt. My fav? take 5 bars. the best junk ever. I am loving this post MizFit.

LOVE IT! Think she might share with a random NYC blogger? ;)Anyway, this post hit home because I'm in the office and the economy-sized bag of assorted chocolate bars has just landed with a sonic boom. I saw it coming in the door but was powerless to stop it, so by the microwave it shall sit until it's all gone, which could be weeks and weeks (my office is VERY small)! It would go faster if I'd help, but the kicker is I really don't want it. Sure, I love chocolate and all, but not the kind that makes me feel ill. That's why I keep my fancy pants 70% dark chocolate in my desk so I can indulge daily, which is indeed planned. Said kicker is the IDEA of the festive Halloween treats, physically manifested in front of my face. The kid in me wants to indulge along with everyone else, but I know I don't like it half as well as my desk stash's "good stuff." In my case, it seems obvious that I should steer clear of the Halloween candy entirely so as to avoid a chain reaction mindless overindulgence, yet is that "deprivation"? The whole thing is a frustrating mindf#$k that wouldn't even exist if the candy wasn't there in the first place. Sad. Am I to assume that the picture above is the Tornado in her costume? LOVE IT!

I think I need to try that, rather than the usual: white knuckle absolutely none until I cave in and eat until my belly gets sick. Planned indulgence.

But only the kind I really really love (mmm... jelly beans). And I buy it when I want it rather than saving it up for a holiday. Mostly it works.
