Christmas Snacking

clevelandspur · Christmas Snacking

So I saw a report that the average American gains 8-12 pounds from Thanksgiving through New Years. it is true we all tend to eat more around the holiday season it seems. So are you guilty of this?

Also what is your biggest weakness as far as snacks go?

Cookies are very bad for me! My mom makes several varieties and she leaves them around the house in bowls and trays so I can't pass one already without a little sample! ugh

Around Christmas time it's usually Cadbury's Roses (or others like it).

They're always in bowls around houses.

Generally anything that is left out around Christmas gets eaten!

At christmas I tend to go overboard buying snackage. I have 2 large tins of choccies, nuts, biscuits, crisps....the list goes on and on.

Also, throughout the year I always have chocolate and crisps around the house, I get panicky if I run out 'cause you just never know when a snack attack will happen.

Oooooo I always have nibbles in at Christmas. Chocolates, nuts, crispy snacks, pretzels, chocolates Lol. I've always been a bit of a bugger for snacking and Christmas time is even worse. I have no willpower whatsoever!

I must say, I'm careful with the amount that I eat over Christmas. For the most part, I'm not a huge fan of junk food, so I'm ok on that front. My mother gets so much food in for Christmas that by the 27th we're all sick of the sight of food anyway!

12 pounds is a lot to put on over the festive period, but I guess between Thanksgiving and Christmas, that's a month. Still a lot of weight to put on though!

I do eat a lot over the christmas period starting from the 22nd really. Chocolate, crisps, pretzels. You name it, I will probably eat it. I just love eating over christmas because no one can really have a go at you for eating too much and it is the time when you can eat snacks all the time.

'Tis the season to be porky. Two big tins of choccies have already disappeared into the bottomless pit of my stomach and I haven't even got the biscuits and savoury snacks in yet.
