How to Not Eat All of Your Halloween Leftovers


I put my leftover candy bars in the freezer. When they're frozen, it's harder to eat 10 in a sitting! —looloo12

My brilliant solution: Give away candy you don't like. For me, that's Mounds bars. I can't stand them, so there's no chance I'll binge on them once the kids have stopped ringing the bell! —dougsmom

I bring my family's extra goodies to my mother's friends at the senior center. Somehow, getting a little candy on Halloween reminds everyone of their childhood and puts a smile on everyone's face. —dominiquecat

I give out small boxes of raisins and packages of chewing gum. It's kind of hard to overdo it with those! —nancepants

My husband hates candy (go figure!), so he's in charge of holding on to it for the rest of us. My kids and I hand it over to him and he does a great job of distributing it back to us in small amounts during the weeks after Halloween! —georgiegrrrl

I take extra candy and quickly wrap it up in pretty Christmas baskets for my family. Once I go to the trouble of wrapping it all, I wont be tempted to dig in and eat it. —elisabeth1972

I just throw away anything left in my baskets at the end of the night. It may be a little wasteful, but I remind myself how much money I'll save in the long run. By keeping my tendency to binge in check, I'll never have to spend my hard earned money on a commercial weight loss program! —chicagomama

I'll give my candy to the neighbors, to my coworkers, to my brother's kids — anything to get it out of my house. —helenoftoledo
