This is the time of year when my food pyramid is just a circle of beige-colored carbs and tiny chocolate bars. I'm not proud, but I'm also not stopping. It's a survival tactic. My body needs fuel for the upcoming stress of holiday family gatherings, and apparently that fuel is a weird combination of fun-sized candy and anything you can dip in ranch. It's called carbo-loading for the emotional marathon ahead.
