    If by "Dreading" you mean wait with eager anticipation, then yes. I am so dreading eating tomorrow.

    I did not gain 65 pounds because I ate too much homemade food on Thanksgiving.
    I gained 65 pounds because I ate too much crap every single day of the year.
    I no longer eat crap every day.
    I will be enjoying the day and all the homemade goodies it has to offer with ZERO guilt whatsoever.

    I'm not looking forward to it at all. I don't want to eat. I don't want to even be around it. I know it's just one day, but I am not looking for a free day to eat what I want. I'm not looking forward to family members noticing that I have lost weight and scrutinizing everything I eat or don't eat. I have worked hard and still have a long way to go and I don't want to have to take 4 days to take off the 4 pounds of water weight that I could put on. I want to just stay home.

    There will be pie round my house, you can bet on it :wink:

    I'm dreading getting up early, and the drives. I couldn't care one way or another about the food, it's just food.

    My kids made fun of me last year. This year"s goal is to flabbergast the entire family.

    I do not fear it. My kegs are tapped and we are serving 3 different kinds of potatoes.

    Yeah, kinda. I don't like any Thanksgiving foods, except the cranberry jelly that comes out can-shaped. And I'll be with my family this year, so it'll be more traditional (stuff I don't like) instead of the things I make at my in-laws' (stuff I do like). But because there will be food everywhere, I'll eat more than I want of stuff I don't even like, and that irritates me. So ok not "dread" but... what's the opposite of looking forward to? That.

    I am all in favor of enjoying the heck out of once-a-year treat foods; Thanksgiving isn't that holiday for me, though, so bleh.

    But if you *like* eating that stuff, then I say do so guilt-free. Here, here's an article that will make you feel better: http://projects.nytimes.com/qa/events/thanksgiving-help-line/question/8134. 2500? Not really that big a deal. Even with a few glasses of eggnog and an extra slice of pie, you can still work it all off well before Christmas.

    It's one day. I'm pretty sure one day of pigging out doesn't make anyone fat, but go on with being neurotic.


    Yep. It took a good ten years of pigging out for me.

    The irony of dreading guilt about giving thanks is too much for me to handle.

    Just eat and enjoy yourself. Nobody ever got fat from one day. It's patterns of bad choices that are a problem.

    Nope, we have planned to make cuts in sodium content where we can, choose some healthier side dishes but still staying true to our family traditions. While I am not planning on going over if I do I am not going to let it derail me from my journey or ultimate goal. I am going to accept it as one meal not the journey. Part of making this a lifestyle and not the dreaded d word is about learning portion control and making better choices not about depriving one's self to the point of giving up the journey. This will give me the opportunity to see how well I can meet the challenge and learn what I many need to change for future encounters.

    Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving.

    Anyone else dreading eating tomorrow? I want to eat healthy, but it isn't always easy to do...I don't want to pass up great food once a year...and it is only once a year, but I don't want to feel guilty after eating all the goodies. Moderation is the key, but sometimes I just want to EAT!

    eat, drink, and be merry... for tomorrow we dine!

    Thanksgiving is 1 day per year. enjoy it. eat what you want. don't dread it. don't deprive yourself. if you want to control portions, great! but you don't have to. you're not going to gain 5 lbs in 1 meal. you might retain water for a couple of days, but your body will flush that out sooner or later. get some good cardio in today and friday. save some calories from today and friday for use on Thanksgiving. other than that, enjoy the day. it's called a HOLIDAY for a reason. there is no shame or guilt in eating a big hearty meal with family from time to time. you know the weight loss secret or you wouldn't be here. do your best at logging what you ate and then get right back in the program on Friday.

    Nope--excited because I know I've been working hard and I deserve the occasional splurge-- and what better occasion than Thanksgiving with family and friends. That being said--I am getting in a workout tomorrow morning before the festivities begin!
