CourtneyInControl – That is what makes us rebel – feeling deprived, and like things are off limits! I am usually pretty good about having things in moderation, but it is SO HARD during the holidays!

the reindeer cookies are too cute!!!! and you look SO good in all your pics that you guys took over the weekend!!! i’ve already (for lack of a better way to say it) given in to the fact that at thanksgiving and christmas i’m going to eat way more than normal… but, i think that if i can keep my eating under control the rest of the holiday season (yes, from thanksgiving to christmas) i’ll be ok… i would hate to feel deprived of something though- lol… and just think how boring (and stressfree) life would be if we didn’t have any problems! lol

Courtney Ilax – You’re welcome! It would have been a lot of fun with you there. We got a bit goofy Can you imagine that? Hey… if that is all you want for Christmas… I will make sure you get at least one And a box of carrot cake cupcakes for your husband?

martymankins – Ha ha. A blast from the past. Sadly, I remember that.

E – It’s good advice! I’ve been mentally blaming it on the cold weather. It just feels… wrong to eat more.

Sounds like Diane’s been taking lessons from my general philosophy of worrying less about trends in the short-term than those in the long-term (OK, I know she has!). Good advice!

(BTW, it could just be the cold weather making you hungry. I eat more as the temperature drops too. I think it’s a left-over Cro-Magnon instinct telling us to fatten-up for winter!)

Whenever I think about sugar overload, I think of that Beavis and Butthead episode where Beavis got into Stuart’s cupboard and started eating candy, soda and anything with sugar. Then he walked about with his shirt over his head saying, “I am Cornholio!”

Although, it’s hard to pass up good cookies.

teeni – Let me know if you make the cookies! I had to go buy more stacking cooling trays. My faves are the ones from pampered chef. You are right about the goodies – I am just going to make sure I am really eating the goodies that I like and taste good!

Those reindeer cookies are adorable! I may have to steal that idea using the pretzels for antlers! How cute. All the cookies look wonderful. I love those stacking cooling trays! They are awesome!

Diane’s comment is very logical! I also think if you allow yourself some goodies during this time rather than trying not to have any at all, that you will be more successful and less apt to binge on them.
