Just because you are going on a diet doesn't mean you gave to give candy up all together. That is why diets tend to fail. Just limit yourself. Give the rest to friends.

Either throw it away or give it to someone else..

You could just thank your kind mother politely, give the candy to someone else, and then be proud at the willpower you just had to exercise.

Then either throw or give the candy away, fatty. It's that goddamn hard.

If you don't want it, I do?

At least you have a considerate mother that thinks about you! If you don't want to ruin your diet then just give it away! It's not rocket science! Jeez some people...

when does summer start in the UK? if you were in the southern US, I'd say you were a bit late starting that diet.

My mom does the same thing. She's constantly bringing home chips, candy, soda, baked goods...Anything and everything that I should NOT be eating. Self-control is hard when it's right in front of you...

I'll take the candy!

hehehehe Oh my. Well, if it were me, I'd eat the candy and then start the diet afterward. :D Think of it as your last sweet meal beforehand.
