Women and Weight

What is it about the fall that makes it so difficult to maintain your weight? And I'm not talking about Halloween candy or Thanksgiving feasts--I seem to have gained eight pounds in the last two months, and I can't figure out how. I didn't have any candy! And it's not like the weather is so cold that I'm hibernating, either. I'm trying so hard not to complain in front of my daughter, as I don't want to teach her to obsess about her weight--but boy, am I frustrated!
