October; a month of autumn colors, pumpkin spice and plenty of chocolate. “Trick or Treat!”
Speaking of Halloween, I like to be prepared. I buy candy for the trick or treaters well in advance. This is dangerous, however, because I end up snacking on it prior to the big day. Now let’s be clear. I’m not tricking anyone. I like my chocolate candy bars, but they are a treat. I enjoy them because it’s not something I indulge in every day throughout the year.
This month let’s not trick ourselves, let’s treat ourselves to consistent healthy living so when that special occasion pops up we enjoy it without lament. Know that indulging on occasion doesn’t mean the end of the world. It just means we should treat the rest of the year with respect and commitment to our health. Do get rid of the leftover candy, however, because the longer those temptations kick around the house, the harder it is to ignore them!
Just for fun. What are you favorites? Mine are Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter pumpkins, Baby Ruth, and 3 Musketeers.
