anyone else going to sabotage themselves on thanksgiving? not that i'm planning on it, but i'm being realistic. i can't say no to thanksgiving food...i just can't.

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!!!

AMEN I will try to eat a little of everything.

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

Amen. Could not agree more.

PS: I'm just going to piggyback on everything you say today because I seem to be agreeing with just about all of your posts.

Don't you just LOVE Julie!!! I KNOW I DO!!!!

good points. not sabotage. i like this.

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

Thank god i dont like pumpkin pie! haha im only having turkey and a tiny bit of stuffing and salad

oh and some mash potatoes :|

Hehe, and the whole gamut from the silly to the important.

You can't say things like that when a woman is TOMMING

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?

mashed potatos and gravy, Kell, I can eat a freaking mixing bowl full of it and still want more!

I am right there with you when it comes to mashed potatoes....just can never get enough of them!
