I hope everyone is back in the groove with the change of schedules in school, work, etc. I used to love Fall...but here in the frigid north country it just means the coldest, darkest days will be coming soon.

So - stick with your programs! Do not get sucked in to the hibernation and calorie load that Winter often brings us! Plan ahead and eat healthfully to get a jump on the Winter Blahs!!!! IT IS COMING!

I love the change of seasons, but do not like that it gets dark before I even get off work. Beware of the Winter Blahs....they are coming!

Still in the 90s here, with suffocating humidity... Looking forward to more activity as it cools down. Nice photo!

Pretty. I know it affects me badly but there's something so comforting about the grey winter. It makes me feel as if whatever I'm feeling is okay; unlike summer that seems to shame me for feeling like i feel.

HCB, I used to love fall and winter in New England. Here in Missouri winter is usually just plain nasty. It also makes most things harder. Fall makes me sad because winter is coming. Already taking vitamin D.

Wait! What! This isn't your weather now, is it? It's pretty frozen. LOL!! I know .. I love fall. We are close the 90's every day and haven't had rain in a couple of months. Grass has gotten crispy ... everything is drying up. I look for the relief of cooler weather and the changing leaves ... all the colors. But don't look forward to the winter ... at all. But the change in seasons keeps things from getting boring. Definitely need to hand in there ... the "holidays" are right around the corner. Yikes!

@WHolefoodnut - YES, we take vitam-n D all year round because even in summer we are so far North it has an impact

@Mom2Boxers - NO! Just saying that it IS coming and I must prepare now to not get sucked down the rabbit hole with food!

Here, in Pune, India, it is very wet, raining everyday, We have the festival of Ganesh now, He is the hindhu elephant God. He is decorated and prayed to for a while before he is bid goodbye by being put into the river. google has a lot of pictures. India has many many festivals and I thought I would share them on Fs. Food is a huge part of every festival. Ganesh is said to love a special sweet called modhak. Sweet or savoury, they are made in all hindhu homes at this time.

I see what you mean HCB, and you know it is a trigger for comfort foods. Just get yourself an arsenal of recipes that are compliant with your WOE. .... stay active. You can also to decide to see if you can just maintain your weight during this time too. All kinds of options.
