    I wont weigh but I still log. I've never been one to gorge myself on holidays. I just eat normally but maybe have a high calorie desert that I enjoy. I don't care for much thanksgiving food besides the desserts lol. The only part of the regular meal I like is the turkey and vegetables. Not a fan of stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. But I always have a slice or two of my favorite homemade pies apple and pumpkin! I just log them and estimate.

    Ill log but it will all be general entries from the data base, and I don't plan on going crazy.

    Ill enjoy the day and eat what I want and will probably be over

    this for Christmas!

    Yes.

    How else will I know if I reach a new high score?


    This is exactly what I came in here to say.

    No I won't but I have learned to be more mindful in general. For example.... I will not eat breakfast that day and have our usual hearty Thanksgiving meal at "linner" time (3pm ish). I will savor everything on my plate won't go for seconds. I will have 1 bread roll as opposed to 3-4. We will have a modest dessert (and maybe an adult beverage) at around 5pm. Done.

    Yes. Will I stick to my goal? Nope. I'm hoping for maintenance, and with working that morning I should meet that. Plus we're eating at 2 and I'll be in bed at 6 so no evening meal.

    I actually bring a food scale to Thanksgiving. Have come from an anorexic background, I get extremely freaked out by large meals. If I don’t feel like I have some control over my calorie consumption, I won’t eat.

    I do but casually, so i guesstimate portions and pick something close from the database just for consistency and having a vague idea of what I ate but I don't really worry about it. Of course, this year I'm going to be on an plane to Italy so tracking should be easier lol.
