The Scare of Halloween

I hate this time of year when the Halloween candy is out at the store and candy is displayed all over the place.  It is so hard to keep my self control! 

I am expected to buy candy to hand out to little trick-or-treaters without dipping into the bowl myself. I try to get the kind of candy I do not like to pass out for that night, but I have to walk down the aisle to get it.  The aisle that is taller than I am jam-packed with sugary treats all tempting me to buy and eat them. 

I am torn between two weight-control philosophies. First one is to completely ignore all temptations do not eat candy no matter what.   The second is to give in to the temptation and have a little bit of candy to satiate my desire.  Then put it away. 

What strategies do you use to not gain weight as Halloween approaches?
