Oooh. Now Easter’s over and your kids are back to school, and that Easter egg candy is calling your name! Are you craving chocolate? Here are a couple of things you can do to try to control the cravings:

1. Let one Hershey’s kiss (or other small piece of chocolate) melt in your mouth sloooowly. I know this is an old trick, but it really works!

2. Go brush your teeth. It’ll put a different taste in your mouth, besides, who wants to dirty up your freshly polished toofers?

3. Drink a big glass of water and do an activity to take your mind off it. Set a timer for 15-20 minutes. If you’re still craving after the time is up, go back to tip #1 and have a small piece of chocolate.

How about you, readers, how do you control your candy cravings?

introducing the candy fairy! she arives after all overly sugar indulgent holidays, whisking away most of the candy and leaving a small gift or two behind. w00t!

I can deal with the candy on my own, but can you tell me how to keep myself away from all the leftover ham? LOL!
