Curse you fall weather!

The temperature is dropping and apparently my body has decided that I need to go into hibernation mode. For me, this means I'm craving every single baked good you can think of, and lots of it.

it's entirely possible, perhaps even probable, that I'm suddenly hungry for other reasons and inappropriately blaming seasonal baked goods, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Moderation in everything! I say have a few treats, just work it into your plan. (Otherwise you'll have the treats anyway, right?)

    Then I would suggest oatmeal, it is a great way to "fake" pies and stay healthy!

    I say hibernation is a good thing. Sleep should be counted as a macro nutrient!

    Winter? Not so much. Unless there is a foot of snow on the ground and work is closed.

    You are not alone. It has to be a natural tendency.

    Yup, feel the same way. Not to mention my allergies are fierce and make me feel so crummy. All I want to do is curl up on my couch with my blanket and eat comfort food.

    I'm gonna go ahead and say it's because eating cold veggies and fruits and sandwiches just sounds awful right about now. I want warm, sugary foods.

    No, we are animals just like squirrels, bears, etc. It is a hibernation response telling our bodies to eat more food to prepare for the winter. We have an advantage because we have a year round access to food so we must fight the urge to eat those types of foods.
