Happy Halloween! (We're having some fun around the dailySpark office today, as you can tell from our photo!) By now you're probably up to your eyebrows in candy and chocolate. Looking for some calorie-free fun? Try this game from kidshealth.org. It's meant for children, but I had a blast feeding the pumpkin too much candy!
It's almost like you're eating by proxy!

CRACKERMOM 10/30/2009 9:01:27 PM	I did not play. Even the sight of the candy will start my cravings!	27
CINNALATTE 11/9/2008 8:51:01 PM	wow. great reality check	26
GRNEYEDANGIE 11/2/2008 2:22:09 AM	Wow. I have a sweet tooth for candy that I just can't explain. Seeing the calories add up made me sick to my stomache!	25
SUMMER65 11/1/2008 10:51:23 PM	That was fun, glad it went in the pumpkin and not me!!!	24
MISSY1351 11/1/2008 10:21:28 PM	I would never eat that much candy. My girls on the other hand would. We let them go trick or treating then came home put all the candy in a bowl and handed some out to the kids that came to our door. They enjoying dressing up and seeing all there friends more than the candy. I also try to control what they get on the days after Halloween. I also try not to eat to much of it myself because it is their candy not mine.	23
MYCUTEGIZMO 11/1/2008 8:01:14 PM	Hmm isn't it weird that jelly beans are so high in calories..but skittles and all are so much lower..	22
KARENE10 11/1/2008 4:49:11 PM	Game was cute,calories added up fast!	21
ROBINR6 11/1/2008 1:29:51 PM	Very cute.	20
GABY1948 11/1/2008 12:31:41 PM	I can't just eat one or two so I totally stay away from candy, to my knowledge, it isn't one of the food groups, anyway :)	19
RD03875 11/1/2008 3:45:15 AM	What about my FAVORITE Halloween PEEPS?	18
LINSUARA 10/31/2008 10:33:52 PM	That really got the message across and you can see how little it took to get to 2000 calories. Wow~	17
CAROLJ35 10/31/2008 9:13:38 PM	THAT IS REALLY CUTE! GETS THE MESSAGE ACROSS.	16
ANNE2002 10/31/2008 9:07:03 PM	The picture's cute! I too enjoyed feeding the pumpkin! I may eat one snack size candy in a bit.	15
OAKBORN 10/31/2008 8:15:57 PM	I had a 4.3 mile run and have been handing out candy to cute kids. I'll indulge a little... but I limit myself to 2 pieces of candy per day.	14
NHSTITCHER 10/31/2008 5:27:18 PM	I don't have any halloween candy here, no trick or treaters in this country and I don't have kids.	13
SP_COACH_DEAN 10/31/2008 4:43:44 PM	Is that really Ugly Betty on the left side, there? Sure looks like it to me. It's too bad no one else wore costumes.	12
TRICOTINE 10/31/2008 4:16:07 PM	The problem is that I cannot limit myself to just one or two... Once I get started, it is out of my control... [sighs]	11
NYGIANTGAL 10/31/2008 3:49:35 PM	Thanks for sharing the picture with us - i want to work there too! It looks like a lot of FUN! WOW, i can't believe the calories in some of those treats... i've resisted the Halloween candy so far - this has made it easier to 'just say no!'	10
MSDIAMOND 10/31/2008 3:23:44 PM	THIS WILL HELP ALOT!	9
LORRAINE78 10/31/2008 2:58:08 PM	Love it I love candy so this will HELP me keep my kool and my waist line in check...	8
TONEDOWN 10/31/2008 2:35:20 PM	I will print this for my record and when I want candy, I know which candy to eat, this way I know what damage I have done.	7
PONO-ONE 10/31/2008 2:31:48 PM	I did play. I liked the accent. It made me feel like I was talking with My Uncle Anthony.	6
MALEFICENT1964 10/31/2008 1:30:49 PM	I wanted the pumpkin to explode... and have candy guts all over the place...	5
LULUBELLE1102 10/31/2008 1:28:18 PM	Fun game. It does add up doesn't it. Well I am going to have one fun size kit kat. I promise just one. I am saving room on my tracker for it.	4
JAZZLY 10/31/2008 1:17:23 PM	This was fantastic! I'm glad I did this... it stopped me from what could have been an all out Halloween candy binge here in the office. Fun game! My co-workers even slowed down a bit after what me "feed the pumpkin"...	3
VALERIE:) 10/31/2008 12:27:07 PM	That games was cute. I am going to have my 3 (almost 4) year old try it. Maybe he will learn something in the process, before going trick or treating. It will help him understand why I only allow him 1 piece of candy a night from the goodies from his friend's pinata last Saturday...	2
OHIOMOM 10/31/2008 12:21:59 PM	Seeing all the calorie counts like that sure does help. When I get an attack for something chocolate at least I know which will do the least damage.	1
