Licorice temptations

My recent visit to my mother was a challenge:

• I forgot to mention about the sugar-free year, so she'd scattered bowls of licorice allsorts and jelly beans around to welcome me (so kind!)
• She's quite forgetful and kept offering and re-offering the candy, even after I'd explained. After the tenth time, I just said, "Not right now, thanks!"
  
• I was hungry from travelling!
  

But, I was able to resist!
