Why Do I Seem to Gain Weight During the Holidays?The answer may surprise you... We enter the holiday season with a smile spread across our faces, and generally exit the holiday season with a bigger bulge spread across our waistlines. Why is that? Holidays are fun, filled with joy, filled with rapture, filled with many battery-operated intimate gifts, and most importantly, filled with fruitcake, mincemeat pie, plum pudding and yummy sugar cookies stacked high with colored icings and sprinkles. Hum. Could food goodies be the
reason we tend to gain weight during the holiday season? If so, then why don't we gain comparable weight throughout the year? Are we not subjected to goodies day in and day out, even throughout the year? Of course we are! However, we do tend to pack on the pounds more so during the holidays - and not just during the November to January 1st holidays, but also during Valentine's, Easter, July 4th, Halloween, and also on personal holidays such as birthdays and anniversaries. Even though the goodies are more pronounced and at times, more plentiful than during 'normal' eating phases of the year, they aren't the chief reason we pack on pounds. These things contribute significantly to weight gain during the holidays: Preoccupation. When we are in a crowd, such as with family, friends, or at the office holiday party, we get preoccupied with talking. We usually talk near the feasting table. We pick up a tiny chicken salad sandwich here, and a holiday cookie there, and a few glasses of sugary but tasty cranberry punch here, and a juicy goose leg there - and before we realize, we've eaten quite a bit of food. Even worse, we didn't even get to enjoy it, because we were so nervous or busy with our talking, that we didn't realize we were eating.
