Not liking the cold

Hey

Is anyone else finding the cold weather is causing them to struggle, my first instinct is to hide under a blanket and stay there, strangely also making me want to nibble more. Im putting it down to your body using more calories when your cold, but thankfully so far havent given in and missed exercise or gone over my calories so a step in the right direction, in the past i wouldve said sod it ill start again when warmer and binged on junk food and stayed in as much as possible. So overall staying positive but really do hate this cold weather brrrr

Hi Fibronfedup,i hate the cold too. But i,m managing to keep busy. T aking my mind off nibbling. Didn,t manage to go for a walk today. Tomorrow i,m hoping to do just that. Have not been very active over the last two weeks, must get back into walking. Good to catch up with you.

You are correct about it raising your energy requirements, one of the biggest expenditures your system has to deal with is maintaining core temperature, just like your central heating at home the colder it is the harder it has to work, every cloud and all that :)
