Ghost: Boo. Boo. Boo. Boo. Boo hoo! Cathy: We crave chocolate. We learned to satisfy the craving with low-carb fudge soy protein bars. We crave sweets. We learned to satisfy the craving with juice-sweetened carob chips. Cathy: We crave snacks. We learned to satisfy the craving with 100-calorie snack packs. We crave comfort food. We learned to satisfy the craving with frozen dessert-like substances. After an intense year of training, we're braced to resist chocolate, sweets, snacks and comfort food... so when we face a bowl of Halloween candy this year... we eat the Halloween candy. We crave authenticity.

I crave not getting cancer, so I avoid all those artificial sweeteners and “food”.

We can pretend to eat sweets all year, but once a year we are all 5 years old and those itty bitty snickers bars are adorable. Roll with it.

I’m with Cathy. You can face being “good” only so long!

I’ve always found that the best way to keep from getting into the Halloween candy 11 (or more) days before October 31st was to avoid buying any of it before then. Thankfully, though, we now live in a place where we don’t get trick-or-treaters at all anymore so not only do we save money by not having to buy candy to begin with, but we also save on all the deliciously-tempting, sugar-laden, weight-causing calories at the same time too. Win-win! ;-)

Hi, rgcviper! :-)

Hello and Happy Sunday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope everyone had a really great weekend! :-)

Yeah—seems like the one big annual day of candy eating won’t do too much harm, within reason. The temptation is always there, though …
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, Clan.

I think everyone is right – once a year won’t hurt. Like once a year at Hallowe’en, and once a year at Christmas, and once a year at Valentine’s Day, and once a year at Easter. Yup, only once a year.
Caught up on yesterday’s comments – I too cannot believe it has been 7 years since we heard from Aaron and Dr. Billy. I am getting older faster than I thought.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
