The Morning After

[sunny_surfer]

just wondering how many of you are experiencing the morning after candy dosage we all recieved last night since it seemed to be the night of sweets. I know personally that i went to a party last night and ended up bringing home a lot of chocolate bars and peanut butter cups that i ended up regretting the next morning since i kinda ended up with a tummy ache. Anyone else had family members or experienced this themselfs...please share :)

Some years ago, a LDS mother of seven gave me her pearl of wisdom regarding her children and candy, dolling it out a few pieces a day was my take.

She let hers eat it as much as they wanted Halloween night.

They throw up and it’s done and they never did it again.

So with that in mind I let our five children, one foster son four of our own eat and EAT!

Around midnight it struck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Out of the five, three throw up still in their beds! The other two had horrible stomachaches. It was a night to remember!

But mind you, the years that fallowed even till the day they stopped trick or treating I would find candy in their draws even at Christmas.

A hard lesion learned, and I highly recommend it.

I LOVE that idea Winnie!

If and when I indulge I need to do it to the point of being sick. Hopefully the fat and calories will be the first to leave my body. :)

Using the Word of Wisdom as my guide I am eating my kids candy in "moderation." Just ate my sceond snicker's and it isn't even 10am here yet.

We didn't have any of that. We let the children enjoy the candy in moderation. I'm not much of a candy person (I prefer food).

Fortunately I didn't eat too much sweet stuff last night..in spite of all the left over party food..the party went well, I'll try to post some pix in the next few days :)
