How do you do this??
And does not buying candy mean not eating candy either?
I get all nervous when I have nothing sweet in the house ;-)
Just not buying
Oh, I can eat all I can get without buying of any kind (“I’ll fix your computer if you give me candy” is buying too). So I can beg for it, if my ego bends to that.
That’s what I do and get charity candy from my husband’s stash, but it’s maybe 1/10 of the amount I had when I was still buying candy.
tofulogical wishes everyone a happy new year!
I have recently started.
I’ve chosen a more stoic path. I will avoid buying it, but will eat it when it is volunteered.
I realized the hard-line of no chocolate at all was impractical; it is a foodstuff, albeit a bad one. There had to be “offences”, but if I was eating less chocolate, the time between purchases had to be longer. Specifically, looking at it with a unit of time (say a week, month), there had to be blocks of time when one or more purchase had been made, and blocks without. If one alternates between “clean” and “un-clean” blocks, this would be the least improvement possible… or a badly set unit of time ;)
It’s still working, but life is long. If one doesn’t eat too much chocolate.
