So...I'm the only one
 

So, looks like I am the only one that decided to eat Thanksgiving without sticking to plan. Yeah, I am up some pounds, but I did have what I wanted. Guess I am not strong like all of you. Maybe never will.

Hey hereIcome,
Don't beat yourself up about it, honestly! Move ahead, put the past behind you and look forward. I too, ate what I wanted and I'm up 2lbs...I'm not going to fret about it, I'm just going to jump back on plan today (I do weight watchers, or at least I did...I've had a rough month) I'm hoping to do good on the "normal" days and enjoy my holiday functions and if I maintain, then thats an accomplishment in itself...Remember, the average american gains 10lbs over the holidays....maintaining is like losing 10lbs!!! That's huge! I don't know LAWL's plan, but I'm assuming you drink alot of water, so push the water big time and exercise, exercise, exercise! You'll get there, don't be down on yourself...it's a long journey, we'll succeed :)

no i ate what i wanted too but i did make it a one meal only day and drank alot of water!

I don't do LAWL but I promise you there are lots of LAWL users out there who ate everything they wanted on Thanksgiving.

I normally count calories but not on Thanksgiving ;)

Don't beat yourself up, one day of eating off plan is not the end of the world.

Thanksgiving is over now, it's only ONE DAY, forgive yourself and get back on track.

Yep, I ate what I wanted then started Phase 1 of South Beach on Friday... my plan for getting through the holidays

On the biggest losers some of the highest weight LOSSES have been after a GAIN! This is a great oppertunity for you to have a big loss. You are doing great! Stck with it!

If I had not cut my finger and ended up in the ER for stitches, I may have eaten more myself! How's that for a diet plan? Crazy, but true.

Hereicome - You are NOT the only one! I enjoyed myself a LOT. I probably overdid it on the wine this time since I haven't had any in so long. Even extended the day to the day after since I make a leftover casserole that is almost better than the meal. Anyhoo... I was up 5lbs. yesterday (Saturday) morning, but am on day 2 of TO. I was down 3lbs exactly this morning.

You enjoyed, you decided it was worth it, now get back on the saddle until Christmas. Parties will be hard, but plan, plan, plan and you will do great!

I am with Cassie!!! I enjoyed the holidays and more than my 3 oz of wine!!! Anyway, TO works and it can get you back on track.

ok I am chiming in ....I did great on turkey day.....but had three glasses of wine on Fri.......hee hee...we will see how WI goes tomorrow..nance

I went over the alloted food for the day but I planned it. I practived portion control and I wrote it ALL down. I figured it was one day and I got back on the saddle the next day. Dont beat yourself up for it. You did it, had a good time and now you have the tools to move on and get back on track. Have a great day!

Count me as one of the Non-plan Turkeys. I was up 4lbs on Friday and still have about .6 to get back to ticker. I am done beating myself up about it, its over. Now is the time to deal with reality.

You are not alone!

However, you are very brave to put this post out there thinking that you were the only one! :hug:

Hereicome--ditto to Kim. You are NOT ALONE!!! I am sure many more of us were off than care to admit. Everyone knows I am a cheater--lol. I was up yesterday then back to a .2 gain this AM. Considering all I ate and drank I am actually feeling pretty good about it. I commend those strong enough to stick to plan during the Holidays. I am not one of them and I am fine with it. Started back to OP eating yesterday and that's all I can do. Hang with us--you have many in the boat with you.

I suck too Kim and Hereicome. Oh well.......it's a brand new day :)

I wish I got to sit down to a home cooked thanksgiving meal LOL I don't cook for holidays anymore.. it is just DH and I and it is just too much hassle for just the two of us.

Girl you are not the only one I had a bad week not just a bad day and today at COD I was up like 6 lbs its just down to buis now I will be hitting the gym hard this week and lots of lemon water LOL
