NO Halloween Candy CHALLENGE

NO Halloween Candy CHALLENGE
My commitment is to not eat Halloween Candy from today until
1 week after Halloween.
I will allow myself to have 3 pieces but none until then.
I did this challenge last year because I was eating the candy and not even thinking about it. I would think it's only once piece and that was not good thinking like that!
I need to challenge myself again this year so i don't eat uncontrollably.

Who's in it with me?
