Cathy – Glad you liked them. That is the kind of attitude that allows you to sail on through the holidays and enjoy them for what they are.

Missy – I hear ya. It’s tough when you have that kind of reaction. I have definitely been there and I think it gets easier when you are in maintenance because your body doesn’t go into binge mode. It’s more of a mental game that seemed to fade for me once I got to that place of self-acceptance and out of a deficit. Now, I am not claiming to be spot on with my calories every single day of my life, because that would totally be a lie, especially around the holidays. But I think that the key is to try and slowly teach yourself that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing and 1-2 cookies is just as enjoyable as the whole bag…AND you still feel good afterward! Ha.

good tips! I just don’t eat any of it and I am safer that way! One piece will do me in, so I totally abstain. Guess I am like an alcoholic in that respect. They can’t have just one or a few sips of alcohol and be okay. I wish I were a “in moderation” kind of person, but I’m not, so it’s all or nothing and I choose nothing!
Thanks for the good tips for the more normal people, unlike myself!! Great post !

Great tips! And I agree with you – it’s Halloween, just accept that there’s going to be candy consumption (especially if you have kids), have a plan, and move on with life!
