Healthy Food Chart

Halloween is the kick off season for weight
gain. Don’t be “tricked” into devilish weight gain! Here are some tips to stay on track:

• Buy
  Halloween candy the day before Halloween so it’s not sitting around to tempt you.
  Store it in places where you are not constantly exposed to it.
• Purchase
  only the candy items that you don’t like.
• Consider passing
  out non-food treats to the kids.
• If
  you absolutely must have a Halloween candy, enjoy a moderate
  amount of it, but only if it doesn’t set you off on a binge. Fruit of course,
  would be the best choice.
• Emphasize
  the fun part of Halloween. 
• Halloween
  night is so hectic sometimes a healthy meal is not even a consideration. Plan on consuming leftovers from the night
  before or have something you can just grab and eat
  or assemble quickly.
• Eat dinner a bit earlier so you get that evening meal in. If you miss dinner entirely it’s
  a set up for over indulging later!
• Offer
  to buy your kid's candy when it comes in so the leftovers aren't
  "haunting" you. Then get rid of it. Or keep the extra candy in a spot where you
  aren't constantly tempted to see it and eat
  it.
• Enlist your spouse
  or friend to support you (NOT be the food police).
• Just because those
  mini candies are so little, remember they can add up real quick.
  
• Tackle this challenge with a positive attitude! Check Dana's blog as well for additional input on Halloween challenges.
  

It won’t be a Happy Halloween if you feel bad about over doing it the next day and you won't feel like the devil made you do it!
