How is everyone holding up with all the candy around? I did good. Only ate one piece.

Too many panic attacks all day. I had to bake a cake for a family friend and I just had to pretend it wasn't food.

I bought a couple bags of mellowcreme pumpkins at work and I'm eating them veeery slowly. My friend J and I took about two days between us to get through the first one, second not even open yet. Luckily I'm a shut-in so no obnoxious levels of candy around if I don't go get it myself, but I have to cook something for Samhain tonight and that's going to be a challenge.

I am so glad I ran out of candy and I am not left with left overs. It would have sucked the emotional energy right out of me.

I live on a farm out in the middle of nowhere so kids don't come around but we do what is called "Trunk or Treat" at our church.
This is the first year where I bought all the candy at the beginning of the month & it just sat there until last night but it was sooooo cold, I didn't get to the church until the end...so the whole bowl of pretzels & candy are going to be taken to our Bible study group tomorrow night. I ate quite a few pieces earlier today. I got the good things that I like but really would rather eat the good healthy other kinds of food....like the stuffed bell peppers I made with soy meat & my own stuffed peppers out of my garden. It was so cold that the rain turned to snow by this morning & I woke up to a snow covered roof & truck....I need food that makes me warm like soup in this weather don't even have a desire for the candy.....one reason why I bought the little bags of pretzels was because it's healthier also.
