    Why not just use a smaller plate and only pack it with turkey and veggies? And have your salad as a side?

    I am stressed out about having to be in the same room as my sister. UGH.

    haha!

    Great game plan to bring your own salad! I am bringing some sides, too - mashed potatoes, mashed butternut squash, and apple pie. That way, I know I'll be able to eat the mashed butternut squash as a healthier alternative to the potatoes! Plus, it'll be easier to resist the potatoes and pie since I have the recipes and can make them whenever I want!

    My plan - taste everything (like two bites MAX). Take seconds of the turkey and any green vegetable IF I'm still hungry. There may be a lot of carbs on the table - but this way, I'll enjoy my holiday without feeling like I missed anything. (I mean - it is a holiday after all.) I'll log my food and see how much more exercise I need to do on the weekend.

    It's so much easier to manage your intake of you are the one doing the cooking - because you know what's in everything. But this year - I'm playing second fiddle and bringing a couple of sides.

    Oh - no wine, soda or cider. Strictly water. Maybe a cup of coffee or tea.

    Just an FYI, but one day isn't going to do much harm to any diet.. unless you go 3500 calories over maintenance.

    Also, this is a day to be with family and remember what you are thankful for.. it's not about the food or the calories or anything else.

    So leave the damn salad at home, eat what is there and enjoy yourself... period.

    I will hop on my bike around 5:00am and hammer out a good 45 miles or so. After that, bring on the food and general laziness.
