Halloween is coming! BEWARE!

Ok. So already there are little tiny cute chocolate bars spread around the office. The worst will be the day after Halloween when the entire office staff thinks "hmm I'll just take all my Halloween leftovers to the office instead of keeping them at home." I'm lucky I live in a condo so there is no trick or treating which means I don't have to buy the candy and therefore I won't be tempted to eat it. Who am I kidding I used to buy the candy anyway particularly chocolate and binge on it to get rid of it as quickly as I could. Temptation is a mild problem.

But this year, when I'm doing so well, I've decided not to celebrate Halloween. No drinking at Halloween costume parties. No chocolate treat binging. So on Thursday morning when all the candy surfaces around the office I'm going to boycott! I'm not celebrating this year.

I have many reasons. The most important being that I'm not that person anymore. I've changed and I'm not going to sabotage myself. So the candy isn't going to be sitting around my desk. Out of site out of mind. Other reasons. All the holiday parties will be starting soon and I want to look and feel fabulous. I know I will feel better if I've lost as much weight as possible between now and those parties. So having Halloween candy just sets me back even if it can be included in my point total. Why set myself up for a fall. I have my share of healthy treats and I am not deprived of treats these days. I'm eating balanced and in control and that feels way better to me than a mini-coffee crisp or dairy milk bar!

Mostly the Holiday Work Party where everyone gets dressed up in cocktail dresses and evening gowns. I have a great little fun cocktail dress and it is going to look way better on me after I've hit my 10 lb mark and beyond! It is over a month a way so I could lose anywhere between 5-10lbs before then! I can't wait!
