I always wondered why some people gained weight in the winter. Do they eat
different food? Have less activity? When I lived in areas with a lot of
snow, the shoveling provided a lot of activity. Otherwise I just exercise in
the house. I dance and use my weights. Since it's not hot in the house, I
can do more of that than I could in warmer months. Or maybe people eat less
during warmer months?
