Candy overload

Before I get to my post for today,

Did you vote yet?

Moving on........

This is what I have to stare at each time I walk into my kitchen. And for some weird reason every time I run up the stairs I think about how I need to go in the kitchen and have a little sweet treat. Then I remember....oh yeah.

Do you think there are starving children somewhere that I could donate all this candy to?

3 days down....18 more to go!

So, how is everyone else doing?

12 people have something to say:

It's a good thing that I have to be accountable or believe me MY CANDY BOWL WOULD BE EMPTY!!!

Holy Cow, how can you do that? Good luck with the no sugar. Looks like a fun Halloween and don't worry we are all spacy about things even picking up kids! I think we've all had that done to us before.

Tori :) said...

Yeah, um, no comment. I planned to start on Monday, but I think I'll have to wait until I finish eating all the candy. :P

First I started no sugar with my fast on fast sunday. Then Hannah baked brownies and I had a lick of batter without thinking. And since I already had sugar, I went ahead and ate a brownie. Or two.

So I decided no sugar on Monday. for real. And I did great, until I had little breakdown. in order to save the life of a child, I ate chocolate. it helped.

No sugar today. And I mean it. I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes...

We have a similar scene in our kitchen... and the boy won't let us forget it! AHHHHHH!

Good job Amanda! You have some awesome willpower! I don't think I've forgotten the kids yet, but I could be wrong- there's a lot I don't remember during the first year after having a baby. I'm sure it will happen though.

Mel said...

Good for you Amanda! We have similiar bowls of candy sitting around. Now that I'm participating in the "no sugar" challenge, I'm realizing that I ate more sugar in a day than I ever realized. However, I'm wondering if its really worth it;)

Chellie said...

We have a ton of candy too! Good thing it is mainly all chocolate or I'd be eating it right now!

Klin said...

Well see, I was in a meeting for over 2 hours and then had another one for 1 hour that I didn't know about so I got hungry and all they had was candy so I ate the licorice one. :(

I'm back on the wagon tonight, So I'm still good, right?

Why do we do these things to ourselves?! OK, I'll do it too. Oh wait, no, no I won't. Well, I could try it. But no, no it won't happen. I will pray for you tho!
You are a good little witch!

Mel said...

You're so good to do your sugar/chocolate fasts! I never even attempt it because I know I'm doomed to fail.

I'm sure if you like Jane Austin books you will love Jane Eyre, they are quite similar in style, but Jane Eyre has a lot more romance. :o) (If you do decide to read it, but get bored through the first 10 chapters, there are some good synapsis notes on those chapters at http://www.pinkmonkey.com/booknotes/barrons/janeyre12.asp ) and then you can just start in with the good stuff. :o)

I'm with Tori on this one! ;D Really though, I need to to something after all the candy I've had. Good luck! You are so strong!
