Step Away From The Candy . . .
Why is it that I feel the need to eat my weight in Easter candy every year? Halloween candy is no big deal. Ha! I laugh in its face. Christmas candy seems to get stale around my house. Valentines Day, I would just rather have flowers! But Easter candy just makes me crazy. Why do stores feel the need to put it on sale immediately after Valentines day?What is it with the gummy goodness of those things shaped like rabbits, the
shiny pastel wrappers filled with chocolate treats, jelly beans of many different flavors, marshmallows shaped like little birdies and in various colors, chocolate peanut butter eggs that call my name . . . I need therapy or something or a WW intervention. It just keep thinking to myself "STEP AWAY FROM THE CANDY."

I'm sorry that you are having to be "Easter candy challenged" so early in the year. It's not a big problem for me - except for the marshmellow peeps.
No, I don't eat them (too sweet! Yorch!) But have you ever microwaved one? They swell up to ENORMOUS size. Just a friendly little reminder of what eating tons of Easter candy can do to us all.
I have decided to just stay on the outside aisles of my grocery store. The candy is all in the middle and I try to think about the torture I inflict on myself every morning at 5:00 a.m. when I go to the gym, as I do not want to waste all the effort on a marshmellow peep. Thanks for visiting. I used to work with Heather in Primary. You have a wonderful daughter.
I cannot do the peeps, but give me Cadbury Eggs and I will follow you anywhere. Those and the Reeces peanut butter eggs. Oh, and I am eating jelly beans as I read your blog. Somebody needs to stop me too!
Oh, it is SO the cadbury mini-eggs! They do me IN.
