    yep, yep...it is out there. the eggnog and the pumpkin stuff is EVERYWHERE! i'm thinking....make this once, and I'm hoping it will be such a pain that I will turn myself off to eggnog:

    Now...the pumpkin is a different thing. There are lots of lower calorie options....but eggnog, we are stuck. I have tried the Silk brand egg nog in the past. Ended up drinking the entire carton. So that didn't work.

    What's wrong with Egg Nog? It's delicious and nutritious (ok maybe not so much on the latter)

    If it fits your macros, who cares?

    Try smaller portions. I love 99% of food October-January. So I started to see how much of it I really need to eat to feel like I got my fair taste for the season.

    Denial totally didn't work for me.

    I also bumped up my exercising to help with work/holiday stress and offset all the noms!

    My plan is to workout more, to counteract the eating more. I can push myself to get on the treadmill easier than I can convince myself I didn't 'need that cookie/square/eggnog/cocktail/extra helping of whatever'........

    I always "water" my eggnog down with skim milk. I started doing it because I got ticked off by how much eggnog stuck to the sides of my glass - it's so thick! But now I realize that I can get all the flavor of a tall glass of eggnog without quite so many calories.

    THAT is a fantastic idea, cutting it with skim milk. I might have to start doing that.

    For those choosing to exercise more, are you adding minutes to a previous exercise or adding a different, smaller workout?

    Fortunately for me I'm not a big fan of eggnog.....pumpkin well that's a different story. Try eating half of your normal portion and have it occasionally....like a treat.
