There's candy in my house right now. I'm sure there is candy in everyone's house right now with Halloween coming next week! Well, I did not buy this candy....usually, my policy is to buy Halloween candy the day of Halloween. Then, it's not in the house, it's not calling my name. On top of that, I try and buy candy that I don't want to eat anyway. Less temptation that way.
Halloween is the season opener for "big eating season." We know it-- Thanksgiving is next month, then Christmas. Big meals, big batches of cookies and other goodies coming our way not only at home, but at the family homes we visit during the holiday season AND at work with holiday parties. It's coming......are you READY?
Let this be the year that you crush the cravings for holiday sweets and treats. Have a plan! Pull out your calendar and see when the parties are and when the family get-togethers are. Think about what you can bring to these places as a healthy dish to share. Bring something that you won't feel guilty about eating. Try new recipes and introduce others to a healthier, yet yummy, way of celebrating. I'll talk more about this as these holidays approach us. I'll even give you some recipe ideas (check out my current recipe box!).
Yesterday, I pointed at the Reese's Pieces candy in my candy dish and said, "You do not control me!" (I'm a sucker for anything peanut butter!) I crush you, candy! Sweet success is much better.
