Cathy: Want to get some coffee, Charlene? Charlene: Coffee? Cathy: Just coffee. Charlene: Oh. Cathy: How we cope with Halloween leftovers sets our own personal eating course for the entire holiday season. Rationalize a little nibble of a jack-o-lantern cupcake each time you walk into the coffee room...and you'll nibble your way right through December. Justify eating the broken pumkin cookies because broken ones have fewer calories..and you'll justify eating a whole pumkin pie in one-bite chunks. Take pity on the icky chocolate goblins that everyone else rejected..and by December 26, you'll be having 14,000 calorie "mercy eatings" of the fruitcake everyone hates! But hold your ground and say "no!" This week...and you'll set a precedent for will power that will see you through New Year's eve!! Woman: Mr. Pinkley banned all Halloween leftovers this year. Care for a slice of fresh apple? Mr. Pinkley: What's going on? Charlene: We succumbed to a lack of temptation.
