I had an epiphany this past Halloween. I was sitting alone, eating miniature candy bars from a giant bowl. I got my usual number of trick-or-treaters: four. Maybe next year I should leave the lights on.
That wasn’t the epiphany though. I already knew that. What I realized was that the overeating season doesn’t start with the Thanksgiving turkey and end with the New Year’s resolutions as I always thought. It actually runs from August to August with a couple of days of healthful eating in early January.
