I am a 17 year old female & I work at a candy store. I really like working there, the only trouble is they let us eat whatever we want. I am not big, but I do wind up eating TONS of candy & I want to stop! I try to tell my self I can't (or just to have a little bit) but when I see everyone else I work with eating too, I cave in and wind up over eating most of the time. How can I stop eating so much? How do I get more will power and not eat the candy (or at least cut down on the amount I eat)? any advice (besides quitting my job) would be great! Thank you!

OhLove answered Saturday July 29 2006, 8:05 pm: Eating fruit always works for me when I'm craving candy. It sounds like it wouldn't be a very satisfactory replacement, but it really is.
Try bringing some strawberries or pineapple with you and eating that when you crave the candy. I usually carry around frozen chunks of each. You can buy them by the bagfull for fairly cheap that way.
Of course, cave in sometimes. A little candy in moderation never hurt anyone. Just go in with a small bag of fruit. Have some candy (a preset amount that you feel is acceptable) and then if you still crave candy, eat your fruit. [ OhLove's advice column | Ask OhLove A Question ]
bitterxsweet answered Saturday July 29 2006, 7:23 pm: you could take a few small snacks to work with you instead, like some crackers or chunks of fruit. then when everyone else starts diggin in the candy, jus snack on whatever you brought with you.. and if you still crave some candy, you could just have a few pieces at the end of your shift. good luck!
