And So Begins the Food Orgy ...

Halloween may be a trick-or-treat candy fest for children, but it also seems to signal the beginning of the annual food orgy. The annual food orgy starts with trick-or-treating, extends through Thanksgiving, continues into Christmas and remains with us until the last of the Valentine's Day chocolates have been consumed.

What happens to our waistlines in the winter months?

The winter holidays multiply our joys, as we gather to celebrate with family and friends. We share delicious foods, treasured traditions and fun fellowship with one another. At the same time, we may find ourselves cringing, as we step onto the bathroom scales in the mornings.

Of course, we like to blame the holidays for the persistent temptations they may pose. We do, indeed, encounter many more tasty treats during this time of year than in any other season. Maybe we do overconsume during the winter holiday season.

At the same time, however, perhaps holiday goodies are not the culprit.

Snacking may most often be to blame. At least, for many of us (if we are honest), this may be true. When are we most tempted to snack? And in what circumstances are we most likely to overdo it with snacking?
