Grade yourself: How did you cope with halloween?

I get an A+ by simple avoidance of the issue. I turned out all my lights and watched movies on TBS and didn't answer the door bell. Only rang once! Not that I think I would have had a problem with it anyway, I could have diverted my attention with SF chocolate.

I give myself a D+, since I ended up going out an partying like a rockstar! I think I drank this apple cider/vodka concoction, IDK what I was thinking. I give myself a plus though b/c I never ate one piece of candy.

I had no halloween candy at all.

Though i did have a little sf chocolate, and i went overboard on almonds so i'm not completely innocent.

A-. No cheats, but way too much legal stuff.
It was at a wedding, though, so I don't feel all that bad!

I get an A-..... Had an extra glass of wine instead of the candy. I did a little cheat prevention though... I only bought stuff I don't like.

B- I had 2 pieces of candy, but didn't go over my carb limit for the day. I would have given myself an A but I should have stayed away from it altogether.

B+ - I broke down and stole a small Baby Ruth bar from the boys' stash - it was soooooo good! I would have given myself an A- if I hadn't enjoyed it so much!

B. I had planned to turn out the lights, but my partner wouldn't hear of it. We gave out Crystal Light sugar free candies with a few Hershey chocolates intermixed.

I ate no candy but I made LC chocolate peanut butter cups and Atkin's Chocolate chip cookies for snacking with our scary DVDs.

We have Trick or Treating a few days before Halloween here on what is called "Begger's Night." Sometimes there will be a few stragglers who come on Halloween night but not often. We went to a political rally on Beggar's Night and so were left with a LOT of Halloween candy. Since no one showed up to trick or treat on Halloween night we have 3 whole bags of candy left. My hubby (who is also overweight) was nibbling on it, but I was very good and haven't touched any. Now it is hidden away. We didnt' have any Halloween parties, so that was good as far as not being tempted.

A+++ for me
D- for my husband
