The holidays are a stressful time of year for a lot of people. I think most people feel that this time of year is rush, rush, rush as they try to get their holiday shopping done, attend work related holiday parties and plan and attend family related gatherings. Not to mention all of the cooking that must be done to prepare for these gatherings!

I don’t know about you, but even though I love each and every family member, the holidays sometimes bring out the worst in me. My sister and I are often cranky and this can lead to an argument or hurt feelings.

For some, all the stress at this time of year and dealing with family dynamics can lead to overeating. It’s certainly easy to overeat with the wonderful supply of tasty food items all around isn’t it?
