As I reached into the bag of candy, I thought I heard a voice saying, “Pick me, pick me!” Suddenly I pictured being in a weight watchers commercial. “It was Halloween when I started to gain weight back in 2013, but weight watchers helped me take the weight off and keep it off!” The idea of saying that made me shiver; I realized my hand was still in the bag. Frozen I looked up at the woman handing me the candy, and then quickly said “I don’t want to be in a weight watchers commercial.”I walked away so quickly I might as well been running! Today was the day that I took over Halloween! Halloween did not take over me! Today I won at life.
I couldn’t even imagine what else those candies say to people to get them to eat them. “Eat me I’m sweet” “ Eat me I’m ooie gooie” Might as well be candy prostitutes. Selling their selves to be eaten. The things candies do now a day.
My favorite candies (like Hot Tamales!) often say "a fat-free food" on the label, so I kid myself into thinking they won't affect me. They're so tiny, and I'll only have few...Then I eat the whole box.
