The holiday weight gain has begun

A hard time of year to try to lose weight. Just give it up until January Cathy. You have Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, all big eating holidays.

Yeah. Forget any weight loss from today until after the Superbowl. Just try not to gain too much weight.

Aack, it’s a minefield! Eyes straight ahead until you get to the fridge. Although I’d grab a cookie because that’s my fav, and the donuts do look tempting… :-) Shouldn’t the cupcakes be at the preschool? Are there a bunch of 3 year olds waiting somewhere for their treats?

Hello Cathy friends! Happy Monday! Have a great day, all!

Krispy Kreme gives free doughnuts to anyone in costume on Halloween. Kiss weight loss goodbye.

Just restart your diet during summer. Or March to get a kickstart on swimsuit season. Even then you’ll give up during Easter.

That would be a tough walk. No way I would get to the fridge without picking up a handful of something.

Not a good morning. Woke up to a white world. Most of it has melted now since the sun is still hot when it peeks through the clouds. Ah well, it is the end of October.

Have a marvelous Monday!

Pumpkin doughnuts sound good to me!

I feel Cathy’s pain all the way to my core. While it’s always hard to avoid gaining weight during the holidays anyhow, the situation is made even worse when you’ve got a job — especially in an office like she does — and your coworkers are constantly bringing in treats like this to share with everyone. Lucky those that either don’t have a sweet tooth or just have a will of iron and have no problem at all saying “no”. Unfortunately, neither one of those two things apply to me as my love of desserts knows no bounds and I don’t have ANY willpower whatsoever when it comes to turning down anything sweet that’s ever offered to me!

Hi, rgcviper! :-)

Hello and Happy Monday, fellow “Cathy” fans. Hope you all had a really nice day today. ♥

I’m lucky that I really don’t like much of the Halloween candy…I might fall for a cookie or a doughnut tho.

At first my jaw dropped when I saw “45,000-calorie commute”, but when you add everything up … I’ll second your AACK, lightenup!

HI, MOM. Hello, “Cathy” Clan.
