Here at That's Fit, we're constantly telling you what we think about things, but sometimes it's nice to know what you think. So from time to time, we'll ask you a question. Don't be afraid to speak up -- we love feedback.

Halloween is a notoriously unhealthy time of year -- not only for the kids but also for the parents who have a tendency to dip into the trick or treating goodies. Over the past little while, we've been giving you tips on how to have the healthiest Halloween possible, and we hope you're listening.

I am not a candy person to begin with, so there is no way that because this holiday goes hand-in-hand with candy, I will feel as if I "need" to do so. Kind of like if one was not a turkey person, but ate it anyway on Thanksgiving because "that is what we do."
I will be attending a big halloween bash where, no doubt, I will indulge in a few drinks. While it's not "healthy" per se, I know my limits...and frankly, I would rather have a drink to celebrate the holiday than have candy, which I know would make me feel horrible afterward and to me is not even worth the sugar and calories.
