I don’t know about you but in Winter I tend to get quite peckish and find I snack frequently throughout the day. Maybe this is where the saying ‘plump up for the Winter’ comes from because that is basically what I do. This year in particular it rings true for me, however I can give most of that credit to the baby bump.
When your appetite isn’t quite satisfied with a first snack, you reach for another which almost always leaves you regretting the choice of food you chose. Possibly even leaving you feeling guilty by the amount of sugar or carbohydrates you just consumed. Thankfully Yoplait has launched a new yoghurt just in time for Winter.
It is a super thick natural Greek yoghurt with a layer of real fruit at the bottom. The new yoghurt is called Bon Appetit. There is no longer a reason to feel guilty for eating something delicious because it is packed full of nutrients and protein that are designed to keep us feeling fuller for longer.

I struggle with keeping my energy up, I drink more hot drinks to keep warm rather than warm healthy food. I love hot cuppa soups and I know they are not nutricious but I love them.
The struggle I face every winter since I can remember is having to deal with chilblains.
As soon as the weather begins to cool, my toes swell and redden, and itch like mad!
It’s awful. I have tried various creams, vitamins etc, which help temporarily until another flare up and I exercise to increase circulation too, but every year they return!
During winter, I often reach for too many comfort foods, so healthy snack ideas are always welcome
Don’t like winter I seem to hibernate like a bear so hard to get motivated though I do cook a lot of healthy soups really try to keep away from unhealthy foods
I find it so tempting to stand under a long, hot shower when it’s cold outside, but I know I need to try and resist the urge. The hot water compromises your skin’s lipid layer that holds in precious moisture. So it’s better to turn down the heat or shorten your shower time, and moisturise straight after the shower while your skin is still damp, using a cream that creates a barrier to stop moisture from evaporating. Sounds good in theory anyway!
Getting dressed in the mornings. I struggle!
Husband’s still in bed. I want to snuggle.
Car is so cold. Want this heater to work faster!
Don’t want to go to school! Shame I’m the headmaster!
I struggle with the flu…it’s no accident that flu rhymes with boo hoo!
I always seem to end up chest infections that cause me dejection,
and upon closer inspection, have turned out to be pneumonia some years,
which had me in tears….
so this year I hope with good food and some stealth,
to get through Winter in very good health!
I struggle with Hot Water in winter…I just Loooove it and it Loves me after my morning walk up a frosty paddock. I find myself not keeping to the 3 minute shower thing…It’s naughty I know, but hey…I learn my lesson when the gas and water tank runs out lol 😉
I struggle just to get myself out of my warm, cosy comfy bed….in fact I think I’ll head back there right now. Bbbrbrrrrrrr!
Getting out of bed in on a freezing morning always makes me struggle in Winter
To have the energy and motivation to get out of bed on cold winter mornings
Getting my cosy body out of my toasty bed!
I struggle with motivation, the cold seems to induce me into a wish for staying snuggled up and hibernating through the winter months, hehe.
I struggle getting out of bed on any day under 10 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I struggle to keep my feet warm in winter.
With early onset of premenopause i struggle with constantly being freezing on minute then absoulety dripping with sweat the next.
The cold. My body and my girlfriends body do not cope well in the cold. Warmer times equal dream times
Healthy-eating laziness and house-bound craziness.
Being rugged up and snuffly isn’t much fun,
But I’m sure with this healthy prize pack it’ll be a kick in the bun
To get me out and about… Yoplait will make me shout with glee “Ole’!”
On a cold morning, it would be easier to squeeze water out of a stone than to get me out of my nice hot shower!
I struggle with getting the get up and go to get out of bed in the colder weather.
getting out of bed at 5 am to do exercise before family and work commitments, so hard when its cold and dark outside….
I hate the cold
I loathe the chill
The winter weather
Makes me ill
So let me win this
Pamper pack
To cheer me up
Till summer’s back.
What I struggle with the most in winter, is going to the loo in the middle of the night, and freezing my butt on the seat!
CONGRATS! You have won.
Thankyou so much!!
Struggling to get out of bed,
Not wanting to freeze my body and head,
Getting ready for work quite a struggle.
Layers and layers to put on so I can cuddle.
The motivation to get moving when it’s cold and dark outside! Its cold and dark before work, and it’s cold and dark after work. Still, I always feel better after a run and a healthy breakfast!
New workout gear always motivates me, so Lorna Jane is a regular stop for me!!
Motivation……..in every way! The cold weather almost literally freezes any drive for action.
In my next life I’m returning as a bird that migrates for winter!
The football being on the TV every weekend!
I struggle keeping warm in Winter because I can’t handle cold weather!
Winter is for bears, not humans I say,
we are not covered in fur, to keep the cold away.
I struggle with frostbite, on my little toes,
and everyone telling me “Wow, you have a red nose!!”
getting enough exercise is much harder as it’s tricky to get motivated.
Also my skin suffers without good old sunshine.
Always wanting to eat. I get so hungry in winter
I struggle with eating healthy! The cold, winter days make me want to just dive into hearty, carb filled dishes and then warm up with hot chocolate and warm brownies.
I take vitamin D with the safe limit being 4000IU a day because low vitamin D can not only lead to many issues in later life, especially in women, but it can cause short term issues such as lethargy because we have less sun in winter and go outside less too. By consuming dairy products such as Yoplait yoghurt you can increase your vitamin D uptake, consuming yoghurt also keeps your bones and teeth strong, which again is very vital for women. Yoplait yoghurt is also a great snack because it contains fat and protein which is important for muscle repair, hair, skin and maintaining energy throughout the day.
Waking up in the morning! If only our heater was automatic, our floors were heated and the car heated itself up before I get into it at the crack of dawn.
At the moment I’m struggling with the flu, but a Mum can’t afford to be sick. It’s cold in Melbourne and I survived the school drop off as my son wanted me to walk him to his classroom this morning. Rugged up like I was going to the snow, I don’t think anyone recognised me, lol.
A lack of energy and keeping warm are my winter battles
I struggle to leave my pj’s to cold to change as they so warm and love to snuggle in them
I struggle with Depression which always seems to be worse in Winter, maybe the lack of sun, the extra hunger whilst trying to lose weight or the fact I hate a cold nose
I struggle with eating and exercise. The cold makes me hungry, so I snack more. The cold mornings and shorter days means I find excuses not to do my daily walk. There’s a reason why my winter clothes are usually a size bigger than my summer ones!
Getting to wear what I want to wear to work. I prefer shorts all year round but because wife feels the cold she insists I wear long pants. Sometimes you’d think I was one of the kids too ha ha
Keeping warm. No matter what I do (even sitting pretty much on top of the heater) I still feel the cold right to my very core. Also having to wear layer upon layer of bulky winter woolies is a huge struggle for me, being bogged down by fabric.
Cold feet – this would be okay if I was a penguin!
I sruggle with cold itself :), the electricity billI
, waiting for my car to warm up ahhhh its takes forever! I do love summertime.
I struggle with staying awake in the winter, the drawn in evenings just make me want to find my bed!!
I love a daily early morning beach walk and dip, but struggle isn’t the word for the dip part in winter!!
I struggle with keeping clothes on my 2yo nudist. I struggle with keeping my calm with said nudist!
The children lovingly sharing their germs with me! I know sharing is caring but there’s a limit!
I struggle mostly with getting my son to wear long pants. He wants to live in shorts and it has resulted in bribery to get him to at least wear long pants on kinder days.
cold feet, if my feet are cold im a snowman…i need toastie toes
When my hands and feet are frozen, but the rest of me is snug,
and in winter it’s so tempting to remain a comfy warm bed-bug,
PJs want to stay on, and hot showers can never seem too long,
I’d rather burrow with a good book, to leave the house seems all wrong,
With chronic pain, winter is harsh on my joints,
but still, I must admit it does have some good points,
My Kitty likes to cuddle more which is really quite sweet,
Especially when she chooses to warm up my feet,
Doonas can come out again, and comfort food is just the thing,
to warm the cockles of my heart & make me want to sing,
Lovely prize thx
The cold! I can’t stand getting up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, or getting up out of my warm cosy bed each morning
I must have winter hibernating bear in a past life because when winter comes I just want to sleep all day in front of the heater! My motivation to exercise and even just to leave the house is so low. I prefer to cuddle up in a blanket and watch TV all day. Bring on spring when my motivation and “get-up-and- go” attitude returns and life goes back to normal. Im sure I must suffer from winter seasonal depression
I struggle with exercise and a real lack of motivation.
Sick children – everytime they are sick I really stress and worry the whole time
Getting out of bed in the morning when it’s cold and so no chance of early morning walks with my toddler.
Getting out of bed in the winter chill,
The constant cold makes me feel ill,
The electricity bill rising from use of the heater,
The warm casseroles turn me into a comfort eater,
Going to the gym requires motivation,
The fact that I go deserves a standing ovation!
Frizzy hair. I’ve learnt not to care otherwise I would never leave the house.
I struggle with getting out of my warm bed in the morning in the cold winter.
I hate the cold with the passion, my struggle is staying in Australia, I tend to travel abroad during this horrible season

I struggle with flu season no matter what precautions I take I always manage get sick.
I’m also an active parent for our local soccer team which trains and participates no matter what the weather is. No one ever said being a volunteer was easy!
I struggle with leaving the warmth of my Bed; I could just snuggle up safe and warm in my little Feathery Cocoon all Winter, emerging like a Beautiful Butterfly when the Spring sunshine arrives.
Qld. I struggle with not wanting to get out of my warm bed because the back pain & arthritis really hits when I venture out into the cold fresh air. I also struggle with my weight, not feeling very motivated wanting to walk or swim in the cold. I drink more coffee & hot chocolate to warm up, rather than plain water
I am struggling with a cold that will not budge at the moment – and has now given me conjunctivitis
This prize would be great to help me beat the winter weight gain that has already begun….
What a great giveaway! Frozen feet – once they’re cold the rest of me gets cold and takes ages to feel warm again.
this is a great comp
During winter I struggle with negativity. I do my best to be a positive person but during winter it would seem all the negative nelly’s come out to rain on my good days. I’m always getting stuck listening to everyone around me sook about how cold it is, how hard life is etc etc! Smile people!
I usually struggle with my last mouthful of hot chocolate. Gulping down the sludge created from forgetting to pull my Tim tams out quick enough often sends warm soggy milky crumbs rocketing out of my nose!
Motivation to get out of bed and excersise since it’s so cold and with a newborn it makes it hard
Not to over eat
I struggle with the coooold brrrrrrr
I struggle with exercise! During summer I go for evening walks along the beach… winter makes it more appealing to stay home and eat cake.
I struggle with not overeating in winter, because its toooo easy to do it, with all the yummy casseroles and baked desserts, and hot bread straight from the oven .. mmmmm……
I mostly struggle with cold feet in winter because I hate to wear enclosed shoes!
I start at 6am at work, so I wake up before 5am and the first person up & I struggle to get out of bed. It’s freezing in winter & I just want to be like a Bear, sleep for 3 months & wake up when it’s over.
I struggle with the winter blues towards the middle of winter. But, as spring approaches my mood always brightens.
I suffer from so many chests complaints over winter leaving me totally drained by the beginning of spring
cold, i dont retain heat and shiver all winter
mmmm yummy!
During winter I struggle with getting out of bed in the cold mornings and having the energy to keep going throughout the day without snacking on the short lived sugar rush.
I struggle with eating healthily over Winter time, but this Winter I am on a mission to eat more healthy organic foods, cut out junk food and continue a regular exercise routine. For the sake of my health and for my family I think it’s important to persevere over winter, even though a box of chocolates and packet of chips seems needed! And I struggle with being inside too much over winter with the kids because it’s always too cold to be bothered to get dressed up and go anywhere!
in need of some healthy snack and wholesome warm hearty winter foods,to keep away those nasty cold and flu blues.
Getting undressed to hop in the shower on a cold winter morning is hard. Brrrr.
When Winter comes around,
Salads,wraps and fruit,
all get the boot,
all I crave is hot chips,
that go straight to my hips!
Nothing like sleeping in my warm bed. It would be great to get out of bed by having these healthy snacks to recharge my batteries.
Keeping my children school uniform supply up as little drying space within the home, little sun and little hope of my husband being understanding enough that a dryer really can be used in the case of emergencies.
I struggle with weight. I struggle to do my jeans I up. I struggle to say no to warm delicious food by the fire.
Struggle keeping the kids entertained indoors in the winter months
Definitely with making the wrong food choices…it’s too cold to prepare sandwiches or salads, so I tend to reach for warm, comforting foods. This winter I’m ready to take control of my health and make the right choices
Getting out of bed seems all that much harder when the chill factor is upon us.
During winter I really struggle with motivation. Motivation to eat healthier, to do more exercise, even just finding the motivation to go outside and do anything is hard in winter. So that’s what I’m working on this year – finding ways to motivate myself to be the best version of me I can be.
keep up with my nutrition, and Bon appetit from Yoplait is the ultimate snack .
I struggle with the depressing sight of wet clothes hanging around the house to dry and my bulldog sneaking inside once he’s had a roll in the mud and sitting on my lounge
You’d think that with it being darker and cooler on winter mornings that toddlers would sleep in later… not mine, he wakes 1-2 hours earlier than usual. I don’t always hear him or I struggle to wake up when I do… he’s usually accomplished something mischievous by the time I get up. Yesterday he used a bright red stamper to decorate the walls, this morning he used his water bottle to fill the the puzzle board in… who knows what tomorrow will bring…
Controlling my weight!
I like a few good hot chocolates and bowl of pasta to keep me warm… every night.
Plus woolly jumpers are deceiving, am i hiding the worlds largest food baby under here? probably, but you won’t know until spring rolls around…
Keeping my feet warm With floorboards throughout, my feet feel like constant ice cubes.
I’m struggling to keep clothes on my toddlers. They might have chubby little thighs but it’s not enough to ward off hypothermia!
Entertaining my son some days, he loves the outdoors and being outside with the dogs, I bring the dogs in but its just not the same.
Getting out of bed when it is still dark
I struggle to understand people who like winter. It seems to me that what they like are the things that help them avoid the cold (like doonas, fireplaces and soup). Wouldn’t it be better if it were just not cold in the first place?
Hi!
I don’t have a long winded speech about my winter struggles! We can all relate to the carb cravings, the difficulties associated with leaving the bed and that dreaded layer of (dare I call it) “insulation”!
I’m a girl – of course I crave that thick cut fruit toast, and can’t quite make it to the gym, and no my winter-woollies are never quite thick enough, rendering me cold to my bones for 3 months.
And yet… I hope we can all relate to that strange comfort that only a freezing night, a cuppa tea and Bridget Jones’ Diary can provide.
Its flu in circles in our place, kids, the hubby and just when they are all at the height of it, I crash. Any help would be appreciated!
My skin dries out and goes scaly during winter so my biggest struggle is keeping it moisturised so that I no longer resemble a dinosour!
My dry skin tends to scare people in winter, feel like a witch at times. Germs and colds are the norm too.
Gym motivation for sure. Cold dark mornings that don’t get much better for and evening session is so tricky for me. I’m trying though.
Food is number one,
Eating salads in the cold is no fun!
I manage gym motivation,
But my food choices don’t fill me with elation!
Keeping motivated to exercise during the cold weather. I’d rather sleep in than exercise in the morning. Gaining weight during winter becomes much easier!
Getting dressed up and looking smart is hard to do in winter…
I want to sleep in, dress in trackies and sit on the couch!!
I struggle to get motivated in winter. I struggle to go for my daily walks and I struggle to say no to comfort foods and hot chocolater
I like to snack on Yogurt products during the day as they are easy to grab on the run.
I feel the energy boost! Keeps me going for long days…..
Why are all the foods I reach for in winter fattening?
There is something about Noodles that make my little 4 year old laugh, not too long ago I put on Mickey mouse the club house and at the end of the show Mickey say’s Toodles my son responds with Toodles then repeats …………giggles Noodles …..hahaha noooddddllllleeesss. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Getting up in the morning as it’s so much darker!
Cuddle,snuggle,and comfort what more could I want when the weather is not fine.
I struggle with lack of daylight hours to workout at night!
I struggle with fattening comfort foods , relishing every bite!
I welcome better food choices…… cue delicious Yoplait..
and maybe I’ll see my toes when my tummy goes away!
Not falling in love with the doona, oh so comfy and warm!!
Getting out of my cozy tracksuit pants and looking kept!
My hands get extremely dry.
Mmmm.. where do I start… I do not like winter at all but my biggest struggle is our electricity bill due to using heater all day and night, oh.. heater, can’t live without it, can’t afford it.
My birthday in a few days…id love to win a treat just for me!
Layers!!!! There is so much more involved in co-ordinating multiple layers of clothing, and you’ll be freezing when you’re outside and then sweltering when you make it inside. Winter for me is constant wardrobe juggling, layer-shedding and re-layering!
Salads for lunch just don’t cut it when it’s cold – and the alternatives are often bad ones. But I can’t wait to try Yoplait’s new Bon Appetit! A quick, easy, filling and nutritious lunch box addition.
How amazing is the Yoplait prize pack?! Something for everywoman in there!
Oops! I just realised I was meant to answer, “What do you struggle with most during Winter?”
I struggle with the urge to cocoon myself in blankets in front of the TV (and heater), drink hot chocolate and veg out each and every night. My latest breakthrough has been getting a small exercise bike and doing 10,000 revolutions a night. It keeps me warm and fit!
I stuggle with exercising during winter as it’s so cold. Brr the thought of the cold air against my face, freezing fingers and toes, blowing smoke in the air, my warm bed beckoning me to stay, eating comfort food instead, I have come to the conclusion that I pretty much turn into a hibernated hedgehog and stay in the warm, not venturing outside to exercise unless I have to. Until spring comes forth and then I wake from my slothful state and get myself going again. Thanks for the chance.
