Reply from Madelyn, Age 17 - 04/02/12 - IP#: 76.126.248.xxx Hey Rebecca, looks like you've gotten a lot of great opinions :) My first answer would be the same as what most of the others said about moderation. But then I read Vanessa's and her post was very true. It depends on if you can handle temptation in the house. I'm more like Vanessa, if I have one or 2, I'll remember the taste and won't be able to not over indulge. If you can handle it, definitely eat only as many as your calorie allowance allows for the day. But if you can't handle it being in the house, take the candy, thank your family and save a few pieces to have for the occasion of Easter. Then, give the rest away. Give the rest to some neighbors kids or your friends younger sisters and brothers. That way it'll make you feel good about giving to others and sharing instead of just throwing it away. I hope our opinions can help you decide on what you're going to do :)
Reply from Andrew, Age 13 - 04/01/12 - IP#: 174.17.244.xxx Here's my opinion (or what I think you should do): ----- Eat NO MORE than two a day. If you give the calories a chance to burn, they will not affect you. The more time the calories sit, and are not used, the less time until it becomes fat. ----- Good thing that you are not obese! You DO know that you can not refuse anything if it is sitting right in front of you, so do not refuse to eat it, just refuse to over eat it. Limit yourself, and you will be fine. Honestly, I love candy, so of course I am not going to follow my own rule. (Maybe).
Reply from Maddie, Age 14 - 04/01/12 - IP#: 208.90.180.xxx I'd recommend eating only 1 in moteration. I'm going to take my brothers and sisters to my community church's Easter egg hunt and carnival and then maybe to my best friends house. Have fun!
Reply from Vanessa, Age 17 - 04/01/12 - IP#: 80.84.1.xxx I'm not going to eat any candy mainly because I know id overdo it. I'd rather stay away from it than what I eat it and gain weight. It's hard enough to have lost those pounds as it is. I guess it depends on what type of person you are. If you can eat chocolate in moderation and then immediately go back to eating healthier, then it's probably okay. But im the kind of person who, when i eat a piece of candy/any kind of junkfood for that matter, then it's like I have to eat it all.so id rather stay away from it to begin with.
Reply from Sabrina, Age 13 - 04/01/12 - IP#: 174.54.152.xxx Heyy Rebecca, Im serousily just as scared as u are. I told my mama that i would only like a lil bit of chocolate and fruit instead of the other junk. Also, i asked her if i am allowed to keep my unhealthy bits of it in her room and she said yeah, so i ask to go into her room for candy and the answer will depend on if i already has some candy. i hope i could help! goodluck- byeee!<3
