Trick or Treat, Not This Year

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year and also one of my most dreaded . I love watching the leaves change , get apples from the farm and distributing sweets to all the little ghosts and goblins cute . For me, it marks the beginning of the holiday season and all the wonderful craziness surrounding the holidays.
Also, I 'm scared of Halloween. This is the beginning of excessive food consumption three months. Who can blame me? The next three months bring lattes , pumpkin pecan pie , the filling and cake. Now you can not have a birthday cake this year , but every November is my birthday and I get my fix vanilla icing vanilla . Delicious. After December 25 , these things do not exist anymore , so I'd better get my fill. Right ? Wrong!
Of course , I love all the food for the holiday season brings , but I do not like everything that comes with it . I hate self-hatred, the promises I make to myself that tomorrow I will eat better, feel a lot of pain when sneezing . I hate it. Worst Christmas time comes I 'm not even enjoy more goodies. As the first of January, because everywhere. That's when I go to work again. I make the same promise to myself every year.
So this year , I promise to be different. I 'll start with Halloween:

    I'll buy the candy on Halloween , not two weeks before . Thus, you can not tempt me and call my name from the Office " Lori , come and eat . A little bit will not kill you . "

    I will not buy my favorite candy. No Snickers or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups . This year I 'm going to give Runts (not sure what they are. Did not exist when I was little. )

    I'm working on Halloween morning. I start the day on the right track.

    I drink at least 65 ounces of water. It helps me to not feel hungry .

    I 'll make sure I eat every two hours and I do not leave me hungry . I know when I 'm hungry I take bad decisions.

    If I give to ( and probably will I'm 40 and this is HALLOWEEN! ) , I'll have one or two, maybe even three pieces of candy loot stolen my son I ( shh he'll never know ) . I enjoy it and then I'll do. The fact that I ate three pieces of candy does not mean you have to eat all the candy you can fly ... ummm I want to find . that does not mean I'm a horrible person . That does not mean anything. Halloween means appreciated and I'm done.
If I can spend Halloween in making good choices the rest of the holiday season will be a breeze.
