Don’t munch on sweets for the wrong reasons.
Keep in mind that what works for one person may not work for everyone. You are in charge of your own boundaries. The key is to be honest with yourself about your health, strength, challenges, and habits. Practice empowerment. It’s important to recognize that mindless eating gets the best of us. While watching TV or chatting away on the phone, you could down a large number of mini candy bars and not even realize it until you go to throw away the wrappers. However, if you sit down to purposefully enjoy your snack, it will be more controlled, and you won’t feel any guilt.
Like healthy fruits and veggies, we don’t eat candy and treats for their nutritional value (try finding minerals or vitamins in M&M’s and gummy bears!). We indulge simply for pleasure. So, when choosing your treats, don’t opt for one “just because” it’s there — instead, choose the indulgence that you actually want.
Set boundaries for yourself and stick to them.
When you’ve tried to lose or maintain your weight in the past, what has worked on special occasions and what hasn’t? If you notice a pattern, it’s time to set a plan to do things differently this Halloween. Here’s the thing: Unless you give the candy away or throw it out, it won’t be gone after just one night. If you have a history of only eating one piece of your Halloween stash each day but gained a few pounds as a result, you may want to modify your plan this year and allow yourself only five pieces in total. Maybe your kids can enjoy the rest or you can give it away — your office might love it if you share.
Don’t let your treats play tricks on you. You are in control.
This Halloween, be sure to allow yourself the opportunity to enjoy a treat or two. You deserve it, and as long as you intentionally set boundaries, this won’t derail your diet and health goals.
