    I prefer to call it a Thanksgiving Feast! I will just get back on diet and should be back were I was in three or four days.

    An 8 inch pumpkin pie has 1982 calories and 8oz heavy whipping cream has 800, I ate the whole thing..plus the dinner. Then I topped it off with a bag of potatoe chips.

    I've had Thanksgiving plus two days of leftovers! I went up 2 lbs yesterday, but was back down 1 lb today. I expected that, so I'm okay with it. Today is the beginning of a new week, leftovers are gone, back to my weight loss calories and healthy eating. Don't beat yourself up. Say you enjoyed it and pick up where you left off. :)

    Two of my kids weren't here Thursday but both will be this afternoon. Do over! I actually had a deficit day on Thursday and likely will again today. I had mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes on Thursday and I mashed a rutabaga for today. I might have Dutch apple pie with ice cream for dessert today. Because of my other two kids' work schedules, dinner will be at 2:30 so it will be a lunch so late that dinner is likely to be light. So I hope to do okay again.

    Consider looking at the week instead of one day. This is what makes the most sense to me. So, instead of having 2000 Calories each day, seven times in one week you have 14,000 Calories. So, if you go over your "2,000/day" limit there is little to no psychological damage. Simply reduce the next couple | few days and you are even again.

    It is all about having a positive and healthy mindset. One day is not going to kill anyone. And it should not be the start of the demise for the week | month that so many seem to allow it to be. Mindset is right, no problems.
