Auf Wiedersehen, good night.
I was in the store last week to get just one little thing and happened to see that the bags of candy corn were on sale; only 60 cents and I thought I could use a bag for a recipe I found for a snack mix. I figured it would be a good thing to throw together for the Thanksgiving holidays. Only one bag is no problem, I’m not really tempted to open it because I only have one you see. But when I grocery shopped this week, the bags that were left were now like 30 cents! So for only 30 cents I should surely buy a few more because we might want a big batch of snack mix. But that was a bad idea because then I reasoned that I could open one and eat on it…..which I did but it was making me feel sick. Too much sugar and I knew I would keep eating on it. It needed to GO. So last night I threw the open bag in the garbage, while I wasn’t feeling so good, so that I wouldn’t have any to eat this afternoon! I’m good now but I’ll probably want something to eat this afternoon or tonight but I’m not going to open another bag. Maybe I should throw the other unopened bags away so I won’t be tempted.
But now I’ve told you…..so please, someone help keep me accountable. Come on Stacy, keep at me and tell me not to open any more of it!

Sorry, Gail. You won’t get any inspiration from me. I’d eat all that candy corn too, I love it so much. And who on earth could possibly resist 30 cents a bag? I’d probably have bought every bag on the shelf!

I guess I’m lucky; I can’t stand candy corn! My husband says I”m a candy snob so I guess that helps around Halloween. Reminds me of that oooold commercial where the guy goes “I can’t believe I ate – the-whole-thing!” Good for you for tossing it. Your best bet – find something good to intentionally replace that before the urge hits again. (I mean good like apple, not snicker bar!)

Oh as much as I love candy corn, I’d be right there with you. Good luck, don’t know if I could resist the temptation….

You’re really on a Sound of Music kick, huh? That’s my mom’s favorite movie! You can do it…resist!

Claire, yeah somehow I’ve got this music stuck in my head but I haven’t been listening to it so I don’t know why!

Sorry, you won’t get any help from me either! I opened my last bag I had bought before Halloween the other day (the only chocolate kind) and have been happily munching ever since. If I found it for 60 cents, much less 30 cents a bag, I would have to buy a bunch. Plus, I’m still chomping down on Halloween candy every day. Had 3 or 4 yesterday. You need to hurry down here and eat a bunch of it, or else I’ll send it home with YOU 🙂
