Members shared a variety of approaches to enjoying holiday treats while managing their health, with many emphasizing moderation, self-compassion, and finding alternatives that work for their bodies. Several members suggested practical strategies like making homemade sugar-free treats, choosing organic or minimally processed options, not keeping temptations in the house, and recognizing that cravings naturally decrease over time with consistent healthy habits. A recurring theme was the importance of being kind to yourself during the holidays, acknowledging that occasional splurging is normal and that progress takes years of practice, not perfection.

Don't buy them. There are other options to hand out during trick or treat.

Try to eat healthy and not to many most people can get carried away by eating to many unhealthy treats

My appetite is not like it use to be now. As for holidays, I try to enjoy them and do everything in moderation. Why not treat yourself? I surely suffer enough, so I deserve it.

Make your own. You can find many sugar free treat recipes, and a lot of them are better than the high sugar high carb treats out there. You can bring a tray to holiday parties. You don’t have to feel deprived.

Keep the porch lights off and don't answer the door. Stay on my strict eatting regime and don't purchase anything outside of that regime. Just don't play, but make your own way with your own rules not allowing society and culture dictate.
