Most years, I just lose interest in food during this time of year. I cook and bake, but usually don't even sample the results. I usually lose about 10 lbs by New Year's. After the holidays are over, I'll get my appetite and the weight back.

(26,039 posts)Its a struggle to avoid over indulging this time of year. I have to convince myself that something else good awaits and that if I pass by a table loaded with snacks, I will surely not die from starvation before finding a better source of sustenance.

It might end up being rice and chicken nuggets I love stuffing and gravy and cranberry though! dammitt!
(might be psychological too, mom died in May and this is the first Holidays without her ...)
