Here's my problem.
I love to cook, I love to eat, and I hate to diet. It is really a bad combination.
And it is a REALLY bad combo during the holidays. For as soon as I get a good whiff of the holiday spirit I am baking and making and tasting and basting. I watch the food network all day long. I read all the cooking magazines. I scour the Internet. I try new cookie recipes. I strategize what I am going to serve for Christmas (anyone who knows me knows I have already been talking about this for a few months). I make lists. I go to the store. I bake. I freeze. I head back to the store. And then I bake some more.
It is a great place to be if you are one of those people who just smiles and says, "I'm so lucky, I can eat anything." But that's not me.
But I'm not going to let that stop me.

Oh I am in the same situation. Paula Dean is driving me crazy with all of her butter! I would love to hear what you are making for the holidays. I am hosting my family so I would love some ideas!
Ditto. I love to eat, bake, etc. and yet I seriously need to STOP. :) Enjoy the time and get to the gym when you can...it's all a balance, right?
Same for me. I just had to stop baking because the cookies we made for 'friends' weren't yummy enough to pass along...however i ended up eating about 5 one night just for kicks. They are not low fat ones either.
