5 ways to not let Halloween candy go straight to your gut

Are you worried about setting yourself back in your goals because of the onslaught of candy that is about to be in your house? Two hands in the air here. If this is a Yes for you too, try a few of these techniques with me to curb raiding the trick or treat candy bowls.

1. Wait until the last minute to buy your Halloween Candy. Just sayin' but we can't eat something that's not there ;)
2. Resist the temptation to buy your favorite candy "for the kids." Haha I know I do it too!
3. Wait to open the bag until it’s time for trick or treaters to come knocking.
4. Immediately following trick or treating donate the candy to a spot in the office, rehab, or send it to the troops. We did this last year and then this year Addison's school has an event to facilitate it too! It's awesome! You can write notes decorate hards for the troops and send them a little treat that will remind them of home. OR 15 minutes left of trick or treating set out the whole bowl unattended ;)
5. Be counter-cultural and try handing out different treats and toys. This one sounds the scariest to my husband anyway haha!​
