Candy

Just by way of disclosure, I have one single piece of candy sometime after supper and before bed every night. Starting next week that will be an Advent Calendar chocolate, but lately it has been a single Life Savers mint. Previously I had sugar-free mints but the store was out when I went last time, and a single Life Saver is only 15 calories. I think the chocolates are roughly 11 calories each (12 pieces is 129 calories). I almost had 2 life savers tonight because of no dinner, but I figured that was silly and I should stick with the principle of it.

Eating them probably drags out my "addiction" to sweets, just like the diet cokes I occasionally have, but it makes a nice cap to the day and it is a good reward.

This weekend I will eat the rest of the life savers on my free day, then start the chocolates on Sunday!
