I'm reading, with interest, people's grading systems even more than who went off or stayed the course! Although I didn't have a bit of candy and the big pile leftover hasn't even been calling my name, I did eat more of the lc stuff than I really should have. I suppose, to me, that would make it still an "A" since I never thought I'd live to see the day where I'd eat string cheese, olives, and a sf candy instead of buying all my favorites "for the kids" and having most of them MYSELF!

I didn't hand OUT "healthy things", since I'm not fond of having to clean eggs and toilet paper off my house!

It IS interesting isn't it - basically either A++ or F--. It doesn't have to be all or nothing, does it? If you got back on the wagon the next day, dust yourself off and give yourself a C+. Its called LIFE, it happens!

The reason I gave myself an F is because I had planned 100% not to endulge in candy, and I did, and took it one step further with endulging in party food and beer as well... the grade was for Halloween day only. Monday, I was back in the saddle.

Give myself a B....

I did not have any candy..no sugar free candy. Stayed within induction levels of good carbs.

Why only a B? Well.. I didn't have trick or treaters, and did not physically touch any candy.. so who knows how well I would have done if I had to come face to face with the sugar demons!

I think that reflects our tendancy to eat junk in an all-or-nothing way. A few of us had one tiny piece of candy, but I guess most of us tend to say, "to heck with it" and go nuts.

I give myself an A+. No kids, no candy.

A+, but at the moment its getting hard ;-) We won 3rd place at work for decorations and costumes and our price was a very big tin of sweeties. They have been going around all day, and i have a Crunchie on my desk now that is just staring at me - but I'll be strong!!

Everytime i want to eat it, i just take a big gulp of water - which doesnt really help ;-) but i still wont eat it!!

Well, I also had a cracked molar and the flu to keep me from wanting to eat junk ... Perfect timing ay.

F I cheated but I went right back on track so who's to say? Progress not perfection. At least the eating didn't last a week or two like it usually would.

I didn't buy candy at all, and noone came by. I remember back in 2002...I couldn't find the Halloween Candy after Halloween. I used to eat whatever was leftover [and there was always quite a bit leftover.] You know when I found it ? My 2nd week on Atkins. Me thinks the man upstairs has a sick sense of humor. Hey you just started Atkins, here's 20 Billion Carbs...

B

Did very well on Halloween- no off plan foods- BUT am noticing that today I am 'rewarding' myself for being soo good: Am kinda indulging myself w/ extra (legal) food/meals/snacks today. Kinda PostHolidayStressDisorder...

A++
I didn't buy any, I didn't eat any.

Me too, I don't see any kids and I can do without the temptation!

A+ I didn't touch the Halloween party food, I didn't buy a lot of after Halloween candy, just one bag for my oldest daughter. I took her trick or treating but she wasn't into it this year and only went to 5 houses. I didn't eat any, I gave the party food to my family to eat and it was gone fast. I tried a new vegetable on Sunday, spaghetti squash and it was very good!

I bought the really good stuff because we only have our 7 young grandchildren to treat.

I always have the stuff on hand becaus I daycare 2 of them 50 hours a week and two of them two afternoons a week. It's never been a problem from day one.

No problem in 15 months.

D- two snack size milky ways and 2 little boxes of milk duds. Back on track Monday morn.
