    I went searching for a lowish sodium hot chocolate mix and found it - Nestle Rolo, FWIW. Hot chocolate makes cold, wet Newfie winters bearable.
    MMMMM!

    All I want to do is sleep and have stew. So I crockpot and make sure there's lots of fiber in there. I have a spicy white chili in my freezer that makes you super full because its full of chicken and white kidney beans. Lasts me for hours.

    I seem to be okay right up until Christmas. Then my mom makes caramel popcorn twists, nuts and bolts, butter tarts, and every delicious cookie under the sun. Not just that, but there's ALWAYS a tray of snacks out.

    I plan to not get too crazy this year. It's going to be tough, that's for sure.

    My problem is that the fall/winter just makes me want to bake yummy treats. I never really feel llike baking in the summer.

    That being said, I am very determined to not go overboard this year.

    Then next year I will hopefully be bulking to put on muscle, just not ready for that yet since I still have a good chunk of weight to lose.

    For me, it's January. :ohwell:

    I;m OK in October...there are birthdays and Halloween to keep me occupied.
    November is my month for Christmas shopping.....busy busy!
    December is Christmas Party Month, Decorating MOnth, and then the big holiday itself.

    January is just....boring. Hubs is usually out ice fishing all weekend, so I am alone with the kids, who are also bored. lol. :sad:

    I prefer to work out outside in the winter than the summer, so it works for me. I'd much rather walk in -15/-20 then +30. I hate the summer, haha.

    I'm the same way. I thrive in colder weather. I become lethargic and lazy in warm weather.

    I totally understand!!! I can't seem to get warm and all I want to do is snuggle up with comfort food and a book or movie. (Maybe nap...lol) I am drinking herbal tea and it seems to be helping curb some of the cravings. Now if I can just make myself get some movement in.... I am having a hard time motivating myself to work out . :yawn:

    I definitely gravitate towards heartier, richer comfort foods when the cold sets in. I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with eating richer foods when it's cold though. Just try to control your portions. It is harder for me to stick with healthier eating this time of the year, particularly in November, because there are a lot of social events - galas, dinners, parties, what have you. December is not so bad for me, because I typically host Christmas and I never have had an issue with over indulging in holiday fare. What I have trouble with sometimes is over indulging in alcohol!!! But like another poster, January to March is hard for me, because that's when I tend to be a bit down (cold, holidays are over), and will reach for the sweets to soothe my soul!

    ETA: forgot to add tips. I'm training for a spring half marathon, and that will be enough incentive for me to eat well. I don't just want to finish, I have a goal time, so I will have to work hard this winter to achieve that level of fitness.

    I actually find it easier this time of year - ironically. It's when I'm OK to put a huge pot of soup or home-made chili on the stove. I can eat really healthly this way. Or be happy with some baked squash for dinner. It's the summer with bbq's and camping and smores and coolers and potato chips that does me in. I guess we all have our challenges. More power to you, though.

    If anything, I'm the opposite. I'm trying to stay away from hearty foods and junk so I can build up a buffer for Xmas. LOL!
