Halloween Diet
We all need to form a circle and join cyber hands. Four days from now marks the beginning of the dreaded holiday season. We all know it really starts on Halloween, slides into the Thanksgiving food orgey, then snowballs into “f$%k it, I’m eating this” Chrismahanukwanzakah.
Though I haven’t done my usual wikigoogling scientific research, I assume all of the Halloween diet tipsters out there would tell you to buy candy late, buy stuff you don’t like, and simply don’t eat the candy. See, now that all makes sense. I just can’t abide by it. Halloween is knd of like mini-Christmas at my house. The Five Families arrive at 5:30 to watch the kids get dressed. Then the menfolk load up the Step2 wagon and commence the trick or treating (oh…the kids go on foot…the wagon is for the beer, silly). The women and dogfolk hang back to pass out the candy.
Bottom line. There will be eating. Of candy. A lot.
Soooooo…MY Halloween diet plan? I’m just going to say flurg it for one day and eat.
Who’s with me?
i haven’t bought my big bag of halloween candy yet but I do want to sit outside our condo building and hand something out, preferably dressed in a wig and fuzzy pink Pam Anderson hat. Anything leftover is mine. Have you tried freezing mini candy bars, like little Baby Ruths or Butterfingers? yummy, and they last longer, plus portion controlled! Until you eat five of them, I mean.

We white-trash trick-or-treat too! We were actually concerned because there are no kids still in strollers this year, so how were we going to carry the booze?! Thanks for the wagon idea! Yeah, our night also includes horsdeurves (sp?). The night is just a wash. I will use my 35 bonus points, and still end up in the red. So be it. I just need to be good starting Saturday, right?
Reeg, this is totally like counter-Marth today! Glad to be of service.
WG – I’m just amazed you can stop at 5.
Actually Martha’s daughter has a new show called “Whatever Marth” where they lampoon some of Martha’s projects as they try to do them.
Martha came up with the idea because she knows most of us can’t possibly rise to the Martha level.
Okay, yeah, I’m a Martha fan.
Yeah, I just bought the big ole bag of candy that I don’t like…now I just feel sorry for the kids who come to my house. Who wants to be known as the “bad candy lady?” Not me. I’m with you – what’s one day (or two…leftovers!) of giving in a little? Halloween IS only once a year.

Three out of four kids in my house are too old to trick-or-treat, but three will do it anyway. My plan this year is to focus on the little guy so I am taking him to his cousins where we will trick-or-treat. I didn’t buy any candy to give out. Wait, I did buy reese’s pumpkins in a 6 pack. But I saved them for the kids. I mean, I ate them all in one weekend when the kids were at their dad’s. Now the stores are out of that candy so no more for me.
Here’s hoping that my kids who do go collect candy will stash it in their rooms, they know I won’t go in there!

Oddly enough, I don’t give a rat’s patootie about the candy; I want pumpkin seeds. Tons of them. I will eat them until I am…erm…well…I’ll just say “sandpaper” and let you figure it out. They have lots of fibre, those seeds. I mostly make it through Thanksgivoween fine – when I cook a lot, I am not as prone to eating because I’m sick of it. It’s Christmahannukwanzika that troubles me, because of all the cookie swaps and baked goods I give out as gifts. Sometimes I can’t resist the frosting.
Although…last year I didn’t eat more than a few cookies, because I was too busy baking them and giving them away (how to make your child miserable – bake some of his favorite cookies, breads, and muffins non-stop for weeks without letting him share the results).
