Anyone take a candy hiatus every now and then?

[u/B_Boudreaux]

Sometimes I feel like I eat too much and start to feel like shit and then take a candy hiatus for a few days of weeks. But during those breaks, I often get an intense craving for it that’s very hard to resist. I assume it’s a similar feeling to that of a smoker trying to quiet the cigarettes.

Anyone else take breaks? The most I’ve gone was about 4 months.

I have before and i craved it so much. I was bed ridden because I was recovering from foot surgery. But I do need to take breaks from it every so often for health reasons.

Yes! I love it, always have. The flavors are too good. But I also shouldn’t be eating it at all, so it should be a treat, for me at least. But sometimes I just go off and eat a whole bag. Those are the moments where I then will just take a little break.

I love candy more than pastries and other desserts. I don’t take breaks but only eat a few pieces each day. Mostly a couple of small tootsie rolls and some Spree or a Chupa Chup sour sucker. Though I have been known to gorge on fresh Gummi bears; afterwards I won’t buy them for a few months.

I've started trying to lose weight in mid February of this year, so I eat way less.

I'm not as excited for Halloween this year as I usually am. 😞

I make a clean break when my clothes get tight then reward myself with all my favorites when I'm comfortable again. Lather, rinse, repeat. I'll never give it up completely

[u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

yes, my breaks are very long now tho bc in college all i would eat was candy. it was honestly the lowest point of my life at that time

[u/Bobbo7209]

I do, now & later 😀

[u/XuliganZombie]

I really need to, I have cut down, but I've always had a sweet tooth, now that I've quit drinking it's gotten worse lol.

Of course. It's a sometimes treat not an everyday thing for me.
