I am currently on a sugar high and feeling pretty pudgy.  Sick  I have absolutely no self control when it comes to baked goods - none, zip, zilch, zero! And no matter where I've gone this holiday season, I have been bombarded with white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, peanut butter fudge, pecan puffs, sugar cookies with colored icing, carrot cake, etc.  I went over to my parents' house for dinner last night and encountered a whole table loaded with goodies - I ate more sweets than I did of my actual dinner! And then I came into the office this morning to find that a handful of co-workers baked more goodies and shared with the entire office.  How is a girl supposed to maintain a healthy weight when behind every corner lurks a delicious piece of cake?!    I swear that I have gained 10 lbs in the past week! 

Anyone else feeling my pain? Any tips on how to avoid the weight gain yet still "enjoy" the holidays?  I have been trying to drink a lot of water, but somehow it doesn't taste as good as the hot cocoa I know I can have.  I really need to develop some self control!!

Me too.  That's why I don't make stuff like that very often.  But tomorrow will be a baking fest.  I'll try to exercise some self control.  Come Dec 26 what ever is left will get sent to work with DH or I'll bring it to work and put it far away from my desk.
