We all beat ourselves up over what we ate and what we should have done differently. How about a threat that focuses on what you did right over the Thanksgiving Holiday?
1. I ate and drank only the amount I preplanned. Yes, it was more calories than my 1-2 pound a week plan allows for today, but I didn't eat more than maintenance calories.
2. I didn't eat till stuffed. I was full, but not stuffed or even uncomfortable.
3. I left some carbs behind on my plate and focused on my proteins and non-creamy veggies.
4. When left overs were being divided up I managed to leave almost all of them behind.
5. Of the dessert that I brought home, I ate 2/3 and tossed the rest. I didn't feel deprived, either. I actually got tired of it (felt it was too rich after a while) and tossed it because I stopped enjoying it.
6. I didn't get seconds.
My best Thanksgiving in a long time! Holidays and social occasions are danger zones for me.
