How do you watch those holiday pounds?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
By now most of us have loosened our belt a notch or two. It starts with a steady diet of just “a piece or two” of Halloween candy through most of October. Then there’s the big blowout Thanksgiving meal and, if you are lucky, days of leftovers pie (and while you’re at it, just a dollop of whipped cream).
Blink your eye and Christmas candy is dotting the shelves. My family has already been snacking on a pre-holiday shipment of chocolate covered marshmallows my sister sent. It’s only a matter of time until we succumb to the boxes of peppermint bark and toffee that beckon us from the shelves at Trader Joe’s. I think I already gained a pound just looking at the holiday catalogues from Crate & Barrel and Wms. Somona.
How do you manage holiday overeating? Do you have any secrets to share…besides just keeping our mouth’s shut!
