I love M & M's
Today on my way home from work I stopped at the dollar store and bought a box of M & M's.
I don't normally buy candy but when I saw these M & M's I was reminded of something that used to happen every year and now doesn't happen anymore.
I'm normally a thin person but about eight years ago I gained 75 pounds.

I guess it was drinking a lot, and eating a lot.
I was, after all, going through a divorce at the time.
I was able to lose that 75 lb in about 6 months by developing my own diet that mostly involved lots of protein, avocados, apples, potatoes, and exercise.
It's weird to go from drinking and eating a lot to only eating healthy and exercising.
That year for my birthday a coworker bought me a several pound bag of M & M's in order to celebrate my losing all the weight.
I ate a handful of M & M's every day for at least a month.
For the next several years after that I was always bought a giant bag of M & M's for my birthday.
Then one day this coworker was randomly let go and I no longer received the bag of M & M's.
I didn't need them anymore because I had already lost the weight and I've kept the weight off these past 8 years.
When I saw this little box of M & M's I knew I had to buy some because I really love them and I guess they remind me of some good times in the past.
You don't have to gain 75 pounds and then lose it in order to enjoy a bag of M&Ms.

I'm assuming you got the classic M&M's. There are so many kinds I've lost track of them all. I always liked the peanut the best.
You know I used to really like peanut M & Ms but now I'll take Reese's Pieces over those any day of the week. But yes I'm talking about the classic M & M's because those are the ones that I was always bought each year.
Now you're talking. Love Reese's. Peanut Butter Cups are my favorite candy.
What's not to love? Small, round ,and delicious with a little bit of crunch. They are colorful and don't melt in your hand! Enjoyed this, thanks.
I'm glad that you read my post and enjoyed it.
When I went through a divorce years ago, I lost over 60 pounds. I have gained some back, but I contribute it to a happier life and lifestyle right now.
I see nothing with snacking on a handful of M&Ms... brings back good memories so enjoy!
