candy

part of the reason this food experiment was enticing was the timing of it...the time before we all start to eat and eat and eat...from candy (halloween) to pies (turkey day) to chocolate chip cookies (my mother-in-law-s specialty at christmas). i wanted to really feel at the top of my game going into the holiday craze. i have a friend who said the day after christmas she woke up and felt like her blood was like gravy from all the food consumed. i don't want that. today the news it was reported that the average american, and we know i am above average, consumes 25 pounds of candy per year. and as i wrtie this in my refrigerator thanks to my husband sits a combo pack of reeses/twix candy to give out at halloween. thankfully i have had absolutely no desire to rip that plastic bag open. have to say that alone feels pretty good.
