So not once have I really thought of this, however today made me realize something. Just because candy is "fun size" doesn't mean it's fun for your calorie intake! We took our kids to a parade this morning and there they stood. Eyes opened wide and gleaming, chasing the scattered candy all over the sidewalks. So as I notice some of my favorites I grab them up and cram them down my throat. They tasted sooooo good. I am pretty sure I now understand how an addict feels when they get a taste of the good stuff.
My enjoyment quickly died down when I realized that I could not hide this from my friends on My Fitness Pal and I very slowly entered EVERY....SINGLE.....piece of crap I swallowed. My smile quickly faded, and i almost instantly felt my belly gain 4 pant sizes realizing that I had eaten......wait for it....433 calories! That is a freaking meal! Not to mention it wasn't filling and it almost made me eat everything in the house once we got home.
So, be careful my friends. Those parade candies and Halloween candies will get ya. Knowing my inner battle with food, I cannot eat just one. I need to devour an entire bag then sniff out more like a blood thirsty horror monster looking for my next victim. Yes, I went there :)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friends! Keep moving, walking, biking, running. Whatever you need to do to keep that movement going! And enjoy the weather if you have good weather this weekend!

I think the curse with fun-sized candy is each one is so small, they feel harmless, until you have eaten 40 of them, which is what I do, ha ha. Good for you for logging it though and facing up to the calories.
