Today, I decided to go on a diet to lose some weight before summer. This was followed by the arrival of a giant parcel full of candy from my mother. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a box in the mail from my mom which I assumed was a care package. It was a scale to encourage me to lose weight. FML
Today, after several months of eating right, exercising, and weight loss, my mother has yet again arrived at my house, unannounced and with a very sugary cake. She's been doing this most weeks since I lost 50 pounds. FML
Today, I told my parents that I was going on a diet to lose weight and I wanted their support. They brought home donuts and pizza for dinner. FML
Today, I told my mom I was finally going on a diet. She let me know how proud she is of me fighting temptation, by making my favorite cookies and dinner. FML
Today, I found out that I eat candy in my sleep. For two months I've been dieting because of my weight and high risk of diabetes. I now know why nothing has changed. FML
Today, I decided to start a new and healthy diet. When I came home from my run this morning, my family decided to show their support by buying takeaway food. FML
Today, I bought myself a Crumbl cookie as a treat for losing 20lbs. Upon seeing it, my mom screamed at me for cheating on my diet and how I was going to "gain all the weight back" and insisted she eat some of it to "help me out." She left behind a tiny morsel of the cookie with a chocolate chip chunk. FML
Today, I decided I would eat healthy in order to lose weight. Feeling powerful, I threw away all of the icecream in my freezer. An hour later, I picked the icecream carton out of the garbage and ate the entire half-melted carton. FML
Today, I finally weighed myself after going on a strict diet of only fruits, vegetables, and coffee. I gained weight. FML
Today, I was online looking up ways to lose weight, get thinner and be healthier, all the while eating a slab of brownie that was half the size of my head. FML

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...

This is how my mother used to be; she's gotten a lot better now that she's trying to lose weight/eat healthier herself. But there used to ALWAYS be junk food -- chips, snack cakes, ice cream, various items from the bakery section, frozen meals -- just about anything but fruits and vegetables. It's hard to eat healthy when you can't afford to buy your own food and you're depending on your mother to feed you, and junk is what she feeds you. People without a weight problem will never understand. But as for OP: Hide it. If it's not in your face you won't be as tempted to eat it.

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.
