You don't have to say no. Just say "not TOO much." Drink a ton of water before the meal and remember what a serving size is. Eat slowly and if 20 mins later you still want more, have a LITTLE more. 
I made thanksgiving food this past weekend just so I wouldn't find myself going overboard on Thanksgiving. I think many of us end up going overboard with Thanksgiving because we don't make that stuff for ourselves during the rest of the year.
I don't think I'm going to have a problem with Thanksgiving this year, but Christmas will be another story....tooo many goodies!!!

I'm going to eat what I want, even if that's a small piece of each kind of pie, with real whipped cream . I'm not going to make myself sick. And I refuse to consider it sabotage.

And you shouldn't.
I mean it's Thanksgiving!
Normally I don't go too overboard because A) I just can't like I used to and B) it's one day. Just one day. Sure, some people turn it into a 4 day love fest with leftovers and goodies, but if you look at it as one day with a really big meal (and for me it's light grazing on veggies and stuff and then having a big late dinner) and a few days of turkey sandwiches, well, I guess I don't think it's that bad

another note to, even if you have turkey sandwhices a few days later, turkey is FULL of protein, and protein is great for you!

I'm going to enjoy myself, but I'm not going to hurt myself. Last year...oy, talk about some serious overeating. I was rolling around on the floor praying my stomach wouldn't burst open inside of me, Lol!

I always do pretty well with limiting my portions and not getting seconds EXCEPT for my moms homemade dinner rolls. Those seem to make their way on to my plate a few times. They will be my arch nemesis this year and one just triggers the need for another, I've decided to not to eat any of them. I won't miss it in the overall realm of things. Anyone else have that one thing that you just keep seconds (or thirds) of?
