GRR! GRR!! GRR!!!
Halloween this year just made me totally and completely mad at myself! Here I am, doing OK with getting rid of my big gut, and I go trick or treating for three hours! I got loads of candy, though I did give most of it to our second youngest brother, because he stayed home with the Monkey and Monkey's Mother. Monkey just went to two houses, and Nana gave him extra. Silly woman. :) Well, we have three or four pumpkin buckets that are about six inches tall, and six inches wide. Jake, Andy, and I went on four or five streets with about ten houses each, and I filled up my bucket AND my pockets! We would've kept going but thankfully, Andy's ankle started to hurt, so we headed back home. I gave AJ a little more than half of my bucket, and then I had a trading session with our brothers, and two friends. We traded away things we didn't like very much for better things like chocolate (3 Musketeers, Snickers, Twix, Crunch, and other yummy chocolates). I traded a lot and got lots of chocolate from people. After I had had me candy for one day, ONE DAY, I had eaten ALL of my chocolate. Most of my candy was chocolate, too! I had even "decided" to save most of my chocolate until after the wedding, and eat the rest of my candy one piece a day, but obviously THAT didn't happen. Yuck! :( (Stupid idea!! Don't try it.) Then, AFTER I had eaten half my candy, and already gained some weight, I put the rest of my candy in a sandwich bag, and I gave it to Mom to hide until at least after the wedding. I was very disappointed in myself, but then again, I was happy that I had the brains to at least give Mom the rest of my candy. It was not a very happy weekend for me, though I didn't gain all that much when I ate all my chocolate. Amazingly enough, I only gained 2 pounds! Yay! :) Now I have to watch myself REALLY carefully for all of this week. I'm hoping that won't be too hard. At least today, I've been able to tell when I was full, and I have been smart enough to actually stop then. I've also found that I'm not quite as hungry, and I'm going to start taking pack lunched to school so I don't have to deal with the grease they give us. :)

Holidays are tough, no matter how you slice it. Don't spend too much time & energy beating yourself about it though. It's far more productive to hop on your treadmill, bike, or go for a walk. Also, drink some extra water. It'll help with feeling hungry, keep your mouth full, and can help with weight loss.
