Could be the body's way to keep us warm?
Maybe many more of us do this?
Anyone else,or just me?

I do this too! (Heck, maybe I just need to eat 24/7!) I have seasonal affective disorder and part of that is a spike in cravings for carbs and "comfy" food. Like a bear I tend to want to stock up on heavy hearty foods and try to get warm and hibernate. When I'm feeling better I try to keep an eye on what I eat during the fall/winter so I don't add on weight but usually I end up putting on at least 10lbs.
