One day of the year? But what about Christmas? And New Years? and her birthday? And graduation?Eat the foods you like/love in moderation and enjoy the holiday spent with friends/family.
MFP will still be here on Friday. Having 1 day over your calorie goal out of the year is a drop in the bucket, and in the grand scheme of things, is nothing. You deficit may end up smaller this week, and heck, maybe you won't lose any weight... but that doesn't mean next week won't be a different story.
Why thanksgiving?
I was only referring to Thanksgiving, of and in itself.
Christmas is 1 day out of the year.
Your Birthday is 1 day out of a year.
The point is to enjoy those special occasions. Just don't treat every day as a special occasion or holiday...
What about bowling day, flag day, donut day, multiple personality day, peanut butter lovers day, dentist day, lazy day, frankenstein day, soup day? Lots of days to celebrate. Damn, I'm just going to quit now.0 -

Eat within your calorie limit if possible. If not, ONE DAY isn't going to determine whether or not you end up reaching goal.we are having dinner at a friends house,
i know theres gonna be potato salad,
the turkey, chicken, cheesecake for dessert and other delicios food,
and i know im gonna want to eat all of those things.
should i just not go?
or what should i do?
I cant control myself too much when there's a lot of food
helppp!!!

Holidays are going to be a part of your life, so you just have to plan for them. For the long term it's better to look at your calorie goal as a weekly thing instead of a daily thing. Try to go a little lighter on days where you just are not as hungry and you will have a nice calorie padding for days when you go over. Or the opposite works, if you go over just try to go a little under later in the week to still meet your goal.0

Y'all know that the OP deactivated, right? Good conversation though.0

I know I sound like a broken record, but feasting on legitimate feast days is simply not the problem. At most there's maybe 10 of them a year. It's what you do on the other 355 that really matter.0

Well we are having pork roast and all the trimmings. I will give hubby his spuds gravy stuffing and I will OD on the pork and veggies.
I might whip up a half pint of whipping cream and add some vanilla or almond flavor. dish up a scoop or two in my coffee after dinner.
No one is coming over here so if you want to friend me I will be happy to hold your hand through the day on messages.
Do not freak out. You can do this. Be as sensible as you can and call it good. Tomorrow is another day. I WISH I weighed 210.

Also. Don't hope on the scale a couple days after, if u do don't b surprised to see a higher number up on the scale, most of the time it's just water weight anyway. It's best to wait a few days! Don't get discouraged! 0

what happens between Nov 25 and Jan 1 are significantly less important than what happens between Jan 2nd and Nov 24.
Yes somehow those days between the 25th and the 1st get significantly MORE attention- more sweating- more whining- more neoritc posting about how to survive.
Enjoy the time with your family- make wise choices- but don't make yourself crazy- all in all none of the things you will consume tomorrow are life altering calorie crashing decisions. eating that stuff in excess amounts day in and day out are the problem.
Eat lots of protein and veggies- if you're fussing and really worried- avoid things with heavy sauces- creams and butters- go low on breads- or anything heavy carb.
no I do not believe carbs are not bad- but they are high in calories... so an easy way to limit that is just keep those down lower.
You'll be fine. And if you're feeling saucy- jump into the T-Day challenge and see the ridiculousness happening over there
