OMG my mom sent me 1000 pounds of easter candy..... (running, calories, cheap)

....from Sweden. I love Swedish "Lösgodis".

I decided I am going to eat it and not hate myself. I just have to run harder next week.

...And the answer to another thread - "How could some people allow themselves to become so disgustingly fat?" has been obtained!

Just kidding, glass_of_merlot! I had two squares of chocolate last night for the first time in forever. I gave the rest of the chocolate bar to my daughter, though.

If you could either eat a little bit and save the rest of later or better yet, give it to someone else, then you wouldn't have to "not hate yourself" and you also wouldn't have to run more!

Running burns about 2/3 of a calorie per pound*mile. So, if you weigh 120 pounds, you'd have to run four miles to burn off a measly 320 calories.

Ha! I just put the goodies in my kids' Easter baskets. Did I snitch a chocolate egg or two? I'll never tell - lol (quick, give me a napkin to wipe this chocolate off!).

If possible, try and eat it all in one sitting. That way it will be gone and you won't have to think about it anymore.

Your mom really sent you 1000lbs of candy? Damn!! I do a lot of international shipping and it's not cheap.

Why do you have to run harder next week? Hit the elliptical for 45 mins 7 days a week and you can have your candy and eat it too!

Maybe that should be the only thing they eat everyday until it's gone...yeah, that's a great idea...eat 1000lbs of candy.

No, she did not send me 1000 pounds of candy. More like 5 pounds for the whole family. I was exaggerating , just a little ...

And I am already running one hour 5 days a week and elliptical.

If you have too much bring it to work to share. I think this is called "Dumping Calories"....
