I hate January! It’s cold outside. Bitterly cold and I have no desire to venture out into the great outdoors. Especially for a dose of exercise. The temperature inside is much more appealing. It’s cozy and I have the fireplace on. I find myself sitting on the couch watching t.v.
Then comes the food. Oh, the food! Those holiday leftovers. All the goodies I made to spoil friends and family with. Everything from cookies to bars and yes, even tarts. That’s not all though! I bought cookies too! Shortbreads! I suck at making them so bought them instead.
There’s more though. How about the chocolates? There’s those I bought, those I was given and then the ones that Santa snuck under the tree. Wait! I’m not done! The chips and cheesies and dips. Oy! It never ends.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. You don’t have to eat it. Give it away. Well, I did that too. Yet, I’m still swamped. Always am in January. I have to eat it. It’s just the way I was brought up. “Waste not, want not” and all that.
It’s no wonder that one of the most common resolutions, to lose weight, rarely succeeds. It’s called January!

You are so right!! It is tough…
Well, February is just around the corner.
Cheers.
I could not agree with you more Tina, January is the worse month for me also. It’s cold outside and I never want to leave the house unless I have to, so I eat more..I look for good old fashion comfort food and the weight just comes on. So for the last few years I have never made a New Year resolution to lose weight..lol.
LOL, that’s funny, I hear you!! It’s really hard to resist!
yeah its -37 C with the windchill today and even the 6 cats refuse to go outside
Oh, I so agree with you. I always get lots of chocolates for Christmas and I eat every single one of them. I have to! My mom gives me a lot of leftover baked goods and I just devour them. I also notice that there are some after Christmas holiday chocolates and goodies that are on sale at stores just to get rid of them and I, personally, can never pass up a good bargain!
LOL! I am right along with you on this one!
