Candystand How to eat ALL your kids candy...and not gain a pound!!

You might not believe it now but I used to be (and still fighting it) a candy fanatic.  I had a paper route when I was 11 and spent a good portion of what I made on candy.  Even the 4 fillings couldn’t stop my love for candy.  I did finally realize it was a weakness and have had to plan around it.  I never buy candy or keep it around.  Ok, I do buy candy sometimes who can be a saint 24/7?
