I haven't eaten chocolate in a long time... I would love to eat my favorite Halloween candy though: a KitKat bar! Mmm...
But I'm trying to stay off of sugar so I'm out this year. It's kind of depressing, but oh well.
Anyone abstaining from eating candy today?

I am. We didn't buy any to give out. DS isn't old enough to care about Halloween so we aren't going trick or treating either.

Definitely not. I was so stressed out today from LO's fussiness that I broke into the Halloween candy. Blah.

@mrbee: are you eliminating only refined sugars (a la paleo) or ALL sugars (including natural sweeteners such as raw honey and pure maple syrup)? I eliminated all refined sugar in June and have had VERY little since; however I follow the paleo/nourishing traditions style that your lovely wife blogged about and have had only natural sweeteners.
To curb my chocolate addiction, I make these delicious healthy brownies and made some the other day so I just had one
So nope - no candy today

I didn't eat any today. I didn't take any to work and was too stressed this evening to consider it.

I successfully navigated around candy, cupcakes, cake and chocolate chip whoopie pies at work, and gave my entire bowl of candy to my one and only trick o' treater.
But I did have a white chocolate mocha and 2 glasses of red wine so...im only doing so-so on getting rid of the baby chub.

@mrbee: that's awesome! I did that in June (because I HAD to) and it was so hard.

I haven't had any. I went out to buy ice cream, but the only kind that looked good was mocha espresso... and I know I'd eat too much, and pass my caffeine limit... so I didn't get it.

Nope. We had a royal meltdown before bedtime due to all the trick or treating excitement and when Dd was finally down, I told DH "alright, gimme that candy I need some of that!"

@mrbee: I gave up chocolate for a full year once, while in high school. It was hard, but I did stash away holiday candies (cadburry eggs, valentine candy) so that when I could eat it again, I'd have some favorites. Good luck!

I'm not a big candy fan so I am always abstaining, but I do eat other sugar of course!
