Default I'm celebrating my first guilt-free Halloween ever!

No candy. No orange and black food. No parties (thanks, anyway, Kim!)...

We live in a neighborhood with few if any kids, and it's a dark cul-de-sac, so we hardly ever get any trick or treaters. In previous years, I'd buy Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and the little Hershey bars "just in case" - and then proceeded to gorge on them until Thanksgiving. Yuck!

I am relieved to find that I DO NOT MISS THE CANDY... although a day when I do miss it will surely come. But for now, I'm enjoying abstinence from sugar, and look forward to spending Halloween evening quietly at home, with my usual half-cup of soft food. My liver is happy, too!
