I Hear Candy Corn...


Years ago, I gave up sweets...me.. a self-confessed chocoholic gave up sweets. I began to exercise and run and hike. I lost lots of weight and I work every day to keep it off. I have passed up Texas Sheet Cakes, Christmas Fudge, you name it, I have said no...and did it without any trouble. But, there are sweet treats filling the pottery bowls around my house this time of year that never before caused me even a second glance, but now are beckoning me at every step. I was dusting, and they called me...I was washing dishes, and they called me. Those sweet, orange and yellow and white tasty creamy wonderful morsels. CANDY CORN! I need to stay away. Last Friday and Saturday, I punished myself for indulging by running 4.5 miles instead of my usual 3, but there is not time enough to do that during the week. I wasn't going to buy any more, but then they were there in all their goodness at Fry's...I felt that I was stronger than these little candies... I have not given in yet, today, but this evening...I just don't know. I need help!!
