Maybe turning off the lights and leaving the house isn’t an option, or you genuinely enjoy seeing the kids. Here are a few tips to avoid eating the candy yourself:
Don’t buy it early. You might plan to buy it ahead of time and save it for Halloween, putting it on top of the fridge or in the cupboard until then. But chances are, you’ll be tempted to open it early, and then need to buy more before Halloween even arrives. Instead, wait until Halloween day (or the night before, if you won’t have time to shop on Halloween) to buy it.
Buy a kind you don’t like. Choose something that you think the kids will enjoy but that doesn’t tempt you personally.
Don’t spend days with candy in the house. The longer the candy is around, the harder it is to resist—especially with so many days until Halloween.
Pray and reach out. Commit to your accountability partner or a trusted friend that you won’t eat any candy.
With God’s help, you can do this!
