I’m one of those geeks who doesn’t let themselves have nice things for fear of looking bad at the beach, lmao. And I still never get my physique right🤦♂️ Why do I do this to myself?😂
My daily treat that I allow myself is 1-2 pieces of sugar-free, stevia-sweetened replicas of common candies. Peanut butter cups, little Halloween size Snickers bars, Mounds (shredded coconut is elite, don’t @ me), Peppermint Patties, or the “pecan delight” things, just caramel and pecan inside of milk chocolate.
Just two of them are 25% of my daily saturated fat allowance, so between those and my protein shake after the gym and before bed, that’s like 50% of my allowed fat before I even get to eating solid food. So I may or may not have the candy, depending on what kind of meat I ate. I have to forgo them sometimes if I eat beef and not chicken.

Nah, I typically just keep my sweets in my goodie bin. It's just me around here, so there's no need to keep things out for everyone to see.
I have one at the office. It seems to calm anyone who’s in the hot seat confessing their troubles to me. They grab a candy and fiddle with the wrapper while telling me their story. Sometimes they never even have the candy, the wrapper just gives them something to fiddle with in a tense moment.
At home it’s a bowl of fruit. I’m not a fan of sweets.
I do not try enough types to know what I would like in my bowl and I hate visiting the dentists so ice cream and chocolate or nutrition bars are basically the candies I let myself eat.

Absolutely! Having a bowl of sweets at home is like keeping a treasure chest in plain sight. 🍬 I have this habit of filling a bowl with a mix of chocolates, gummies, and sometimes those fancy international candies just for a bit of variety. It's not just a treat for me but also a sweet surprise for guests. Funny thing is, I do the same for my car. It's like a mini road trip treat - because why not make every drive a little sweeter, right? 🚗✨ It's the little joys in life, after all.

No. I don't want lure Hansel and Gretel
Nice to see chocolate limes in the mix there.
I try to, don't always thoughNope don't need that. I buy some snacks when I want some then I eat them and then I take a break. I don't want snacks around all the time it's too easy to fall into bad habits and I can eat a lot so I would be eating them.
Only during December (Lindt, & Ferraro Rocher)
Summer months I stack up on popsicles and frozen fruit for guests.
Mints for the car.
a bowl is sooo sweet. I have a faqqing cabinet above the fridge. 😂
We always used to. Have to import it at the moment to have a decent bowl. Tides you over between passing meals.
That's poison for me 🤣
I also have temptations and I could end up eating sweets and candies but I don't have them in my house. I make it hard for myself to get any refined sugar.
My mother had something like that earn zip was growing up and as long as she was alive but I don't butvi fo always keep a couple of mint containers in my car so I can pop one in my mouth before going in to see a client.
No, because they'd be gone in seconds. I'd end up overdosing on sugar.
I like the drumsticks , maoams and refreshers ☺️
No just fruit. Before you think I am super healthy. The sweets never make it to a bowl.
I don't. I even avoid having snacks and sweets in the house as I tend to grab them every time I see them. I still have some snacks in the house for my Husband mostly crisps and popcorn but I keep them in the cupboard.
Not now. When I was growing up, my grandmother, who lived with us, always kept a bowl of hard candies on a table near the front door. She expected you go take one whoever you left it came in.
Nope , I would never eat that stuff , sugar free or otherwise , its all horrendous stuff , years ago = yeah sure , but glad I gave all this stuff up.
nope... but tamarindos and other Mexican candy, yes...
Yes, I do have IT at home. Each member of my family Has a sweet tooth so we need plenty of sugar😊
Those candies looks so good. 👀
I also have one but they are all chocolates. Guilty pleasure! 🫣😁
No the only suites I typically eat are chocolate bars like Nestle crunch or twix so I just have them on my end table next to my recliner
If we had one atm, it would take just one sitting to finish the whole bowl.😋😋😋
