    I'm confused... Nobody is trying to eat at goal today? Because it's one of two "treat" days a year? I'm afraid I'm developing a food phobia, and I was planning to eat as little as I could to stay in goal lol. It would be nice to not think about what I am mindlessly eating for the day.... Hmm

    I'm staying at goal. We didn't have a large meal to begin with. I cooked and weighed everything I ate and planned it all out ahead of time. I worked out this morning and ate back half my exercise calories for sure, though. Eating too much doesn't agree with me.

    In for food porn. I'm still battling an awful stomach bug, so I've only managed 1,500 calories for the day, mostly crackers, soup, some stuffing, and some apples and bananas :neutral_face:

    However, I'm totally with you all in spirit. I'm already planning to join y'all for Christmas Challenge :smiley:

    Custard base for my bread pudding is complete. Looking at it like it might be a good base for a cocktail.

    12# turkey for two people. Yeah... haven't eaten yet today either. I'm eating turkey, bread pudding, and whisky.

    In for more pictures.
    I was trying to be the high and mighty one who stayed in goal today (it's my first MFP Thanksgiving, don't blame me for trying to be a goody two shoes), I even started my day with oatmeal.
    ...
    Then I had about 500 calories worth of candy corn before my extended family even got to our house. High and mighty Abbey fell hard and fast.

    Man, I'm jealous. My day probably topped out at 2500! Turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, baked apples, cranberry sauce, cornbread, then dessert.

    OK, the day is over, and I didn't even hit the national average 3000 calories for T-day. My meal was 1643 calories (which is 400 more than what I should eat for the day), and I ended up eating over 2200 for the whole day. According to MFP, I'd gain a whole 2 lbs. if I ate like this every day, but there's no way I can eat like that every day! Taking a whole rather half piece of pumpkin pie almost finished me. Just took a Nexium and am downing a club soda. I guess I'm not exactly the Olympic athlete of eaters.

    My guesstimating puts me at just a little under 3000. :neutral_face: So I'm probably close to 4000. Darn it, I didn't make it. At least I don't think I did.
