It’s October now… The month of any candy bar you want in “fun size”. Makes you feel like you can just have one and since it is mini, it doesn’t really count… So you buy the package of your favorite mini candy. Mine would be a Kit-kat or Twix. You put the bag of little gems up high so the kids can’t reach them and tell yourself, “one a week won’t hurt!” or you put them in your candy jar on your desk for your student helpers and occasionally you may have one. Do you really only have one? If you do, I don’t believe you!
Being dead honest here… those silly little fun sized bars are MY enemy. They are colorful and cute staring at me as I make my way through the grocery store with my cart of veggies, fruit, and other variety’s of clean foods… I have to walk down that aisle and look at the pretty little fun sized bars so I can torture myself with what I won’t allow myself to buy. The Devil pops on my shoulder and tells me, “if you grab a bag of little Kit-kat’s and stick them under the bags of organic spinach, no one will know… ” The Angel with a Halo made of organic yellow peppers whispers, ” Except maybe your hips won’t be such a “fun” size when you make your way through the bag in a week… and if Grey’s is on, that bag of fun may be half gone before the first half of the show.” Yep, the Angel is right. It’s best to leave that stuff on the grocery shelf and off my hips.

Thanks for this post – I'm going to have to refer to it daily because anything chocolate is "clean and calorie free" in my mind.
What about just a handful of M&M's? 3 or 4 throughout the day? M&M's are my weakness. They don't count…..right?
