Jsheridan: I empathise with you. I find endless cups of tea take the edge off food temptation for a while, but apart from that I don't know how to help.
November and December are difficult months for me too, much of it is psychological: familiar holiday food evoking memories of happy, carefree holidays of the past. I can usually scrape through Thanksgiving unscathed but sooner or later Christmas does me in, at least to some extent.
Temptation is everywhere. For example, people keep giving me boxes of chocolate. Good stuff too. I pass it on to others easily at first, but it keeps on coming and sooner or later I want to "just taste one". Of course, then I can't stop until the box is empty. The next stage is terror that I'm so far out of control I'll declare open season on ALL carbs. And alcohol: there are two gift bottles of REALLY good vintage champagne in my refridgerator right now. They are such a huge treat, something I would never buy for myself. I'm waiting to share them with friends, but as I type this I am DYING to open one and have a "sip". Inevitably, if I do that I'll eventually finish the bottle. Then, eventually, the other one.
It's like being at war with myself. If last year is anything to go by, come January 2 I'll be utterly exhausted from battle fatigue.
