@debi...hahaha!

@Dr. Write...I was offended at the stereotype for 4 seconds. Just enough time to realize the truth of it. But now, I have all the vices. Ugh!

@Sue: Hilarious.

I love how passionate people are about this subject! :)

Back in 1997 I was having my monthly chat (with Mary this time) about how much I hate how I look. We both knew that I had zero zero zero self-control when it came to candy. Always have. So Mary challenged me to go a week. And then I went 2 and so on, you get the idea because you just went through that. I've stayed away from it ever since. I don't really miss it anymore, except for red vines. Sigh. So it was and still is hard sometimes, but oh so worth it! So hooray for you!!

ps: I stil have some cookies and cake, but I can't eat a ton of those, either. Chocolate fix? I just buy a bag of chocolate chips and eat a small handful every now and then. :)

karen, you're so strong! i often just eat sweets instead of meals since i figure that will mean less overall. i mean, life is short so eat dessert first, right? however, with your success, maybe i will give up the mega-sized bag of nestle semi-sweet chocolate chip bag that i seem to kill every two weeks. sigh. i like sue's advice: no dessert after dessert. dang it! why do we have to be grown up!

I have a couple of rules for myself. Rule one is no candy before lunch - I know pretty pathetic. Rule two is no dessert after dessert. No I don't live them perfectly. I just am not that disciplined, but it keeps me from living on sugar, unless I skip lunch. Do not skip lunch should be my rule number three.
But I didn't know about the Easter sweet tart bunnies. I've been missing some possibilities....

From a non-native Utahn point of view, I see the candy addiction as a very Mormon thing. I knew a woman who was a non-drinker when I met her and I never knew an adult who ate so much candy! (Mormon) I think it's because that's the only vice you've got. Seriously. I guess if I didn't drink gallons of coffee and then wine at night, I might be more into candy. As it is, I love my nightly squares of chocolate.
But I never did understand the sugar candy (starburst, gummy worms, sweettarts, etc.) addiction. But chocolate I totally get.

About a month ago, I came home from Target with two huge bags of Sour Patch Kids and Peanut m&ms. A week and a half later, after burning through both bags, Travis BANNED me from ever bringing home that much candy again. We'll see...

We need to talk candy someday - -I'm a candy-addict from way back. I'm just not brave enough to try to do without it. I have to admit I'm in awe of you!!

OMG so funny!! I was telling Val today when I was getting my hair colored how much I LOVE candy and that every night I have a little bowl (filled up many times) of hot tamale's, starbursts, sour patch kids etc...
I am positive I am going to get type II diabetes! I LOVE candy! :)
