Personally, I find American candy way too sweet. As in one full-sized bar of any chocolate candy is disgustingly sweet, and makes me feel unwell if I get anywhere close to finishing a bar

I am American btw, and I grew up eating this stuff for a few weeks after Halloween, but then my tastebuds developed and my answer to that question is to “just eat a couple of pieces a day”

If you want an actual answer, I’d consider trying to remove willpower from the equation and donate or throw away a majority of the candy you have. If you still want to keep candy, then putting it in inconvenient places might make it easier to eat less. Think like keeping it on the opposite side of your residence where you would usually lounge/mindlessly snack and only eating it in a designated area.

You can also try to buy one of those kSafes to prevent yourself from eating it all too. The idea isn’t to depend on your current willpower to decide for you, but rather the rational thought of your past self to allot yourself a certain amount.

It’s like a cheat day, if you designate a day where you can pig out, it’s easier to maintain a well-balanced diet outside of the chest day

Do you usually eat everything in the house in one sitting? Do it the normal way - eat what you want based on your personal diabetes goals.

Usually abdominal pain, severe indigestion and/or diarrhea. Being barely able to eat and actually digest enough normal food to survive along with near constant stabbing pains to the gut have really helped me stave off any concern of over eating and obesity… It’s terrible. Don’t recommend. And junk food makes it worse. Which just sucks more cuz that shit is delicious.

Personally I’ve found that “how do I stop myself from doing a Kirby impression on this junk food?” is the wrong question.

Consider asking instead, “what am I trying to get by devouring it all?” Followed by, “is there a more helpful way to meet that need?”

Me, I like to eat for sensory enjoyment/stimulation. So I use the other senses instead, with things like music or a melting wax tart or a reusable bubble wrap toy.

1. Don’t have the junk in the house
2. Don’t have so much I can eat myself sick when 1 failed
3. Don’t have it in sight or even within reach when 2 failed

When everything else fails, eat myself sick and get sick over the remainder. However, 1 is the main goal here.

I hide half of it and forget where.

Appreciate the taste! Like really, analyze it and see what you can detect and if it changes. Sugar paste coated with sugar probably won’t do well with this, but chocolate does. It’s why a small box of chocolate can cost like 20€, it’s for the experience.

I have a milk allergy, so I only buy milk chocolate products so I literally can’t eat the leftovers. They get pawned off on my coworkers instead.

I have a diabetic friend and would slowly eat the candy over the course of days/weeks to give her a chance to take it all.

Very basic self-control. Do you seriously have a problem with eating your “candy stash” in one sitting? You need to speak with a doctor if this is the case.
