Holiday Hunger

I hate diets. I'm on one now. Actually, I'm on two, you can't seem to eat enough on one.

It is so tough to maintain your weight through the holidays. There seems to be food at every turn. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, sugar cookies, fudge, candy, cakes, pies... the list is seemingly endless.

If you work in an office, you know someone will be bringing a treat of some kind in. It just happens. Always has, always will.

People are either happy or miserable this time of year. Either way, we eat  boatloads (metric system) of food that are loaded with calories. Most people ignore the scale until they sober up on New Years day.

During this season, I weigh myself every morning. It helps keep me in check. If I gain a pound, I take it easy on the groceries that day. I'll still have some treats, but in moderation. Right now, there's a slice of red velvet cheese cake in the fridge with my name all over it.

I've worked too hard through the year to gain it all back in two months, so I avoid the treats during the week, and do what I want during the weekend. That seems to work for me.

How about you? Do you have a system? Do you struggle? I'd love to hear about it. Just leave a comment below.

I'm going to sign off now. That cheesecake isn't going to eat itself.

See you tomorrow.
