Here it comes again…Halloween and the candy that
comes with it! Hang on, because you cannot avoid seeing it in the stores,
at least for a few more weeks. Then
comes Christmas Candy…great. L
Those huge bags of "fun size" Snickers,
Twix, Skittles, Kit Kat, M&M’s, etc. Yum! In the past, I would buy
several bags so it would “look” like I was buying it for trick or treaters. Rrright…you know what happened! I would break into those bags, have a hay-day
and go back and buy more. After all, they are called fun size, right?
Being a self-admitted sugar-holic, it's not smart
for me to buy any candy, period! I KNOW that I’m just going to eat it myself,
HELLO! If any of you have ever read the book Sugar Busters or know what
sugar really does to your body, then you know what what your in for if you
choose to eat it. Unfortunately, the taste of candy can be heaven! It was for me for most of my life.
I’m sure everyone has noticed that a lot of packaging
on candy says FAT-FREE. Yes, it IS fat-free because it's ALL sugar!
Sugar and fat are not the same. I repeat, sugar and fat are NOT the same.
Sugar turns into FAT once it's inside of you!
If you’re currently dealing with extra stomach
rolls, pooches, muffin-tops, back boobs and general extra poundage, it’s
because you probably made stupid food decisions in the past that are still
stuck on you today. Trust me, we’ve all been there, but it IS fixable. Not
without a lot of hard work, but most of us are capable of fixing ourselves. It’s
YOUR choice.
I love Halloween, but I had to completely give up
candy and sugar! Yes, it does taste good, but do you really want to wear
it for years to come? They’re not really treats, they’re tricks! The trick is…how
do we get rid of it after it’s turned into FAT and we’re already wearing it?!
So, STOP, DROP, & ROLL (or run) from the
candy this Halloween season! You will thank yourself. J
