    I did it, Thanksgiving dinner only 459 calories, and I'm stuffed.

    That sounds extremely sad and full of anxiety to me. Not my cup of tea. It's only one day and I enjoyed it. In the long run one day of indulgence is nothing. I did, didn't worry about it and will be back on track today with some tasty leftovers that won't get me off track.

    LOL @ counting on Thanksgiving. But if I guessed I really think I have ate/drank 6,000+ cals since 6pm on Wednesday night.

    Wed night: Double Double from in n Out followed by a night bar hopping with the wife
    Thursday Morning:
    -Weighed myself and passed the 90lb total lost mark since may 10th, then ate a banana and went on a 5 mile run
    -Returned from Run and had a huge breakfast - Eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, potatoes
    -Football started so I thought the best thing to do would be to pick up from where I left off the night before and start drinking beer again - it's like 10 am at this point
    -Kept drinking beer
    -More beer
    -Thanksgiving Dinner - O wow I only had one plate but man I filled that thing up with every serving and ate the whole damn thing - Stuffed!
    -Somehow was able to continue drinking beer
    -Desert! Huge slice of pinapple cheesecake and a piece of pumpkin pie topped with cool whip
    -Yup more beer
    -Finished the night off with a 24oz Bud Light and a snickers bar then passed out
    -Woke up at 3am this morning felt like I was going to die
    -Now - - somehow made it to work and still feel like I'm going to die :(

    Recovery mode in full effect!

    I cooked.. I made an all low cal low fat meal.. Turkey, creamed cauliflower, carrot parsnip purée, steamed green beans with toasted hazelnuts and cranberry, quinoa mushroom stuffing.. I made spinach dip with greek yogurt, pumpkin cookies with applesauce instead of butter.. Peanut butter and apples and celery.. Totally novel! I killed in cardio.. Netted 650, but ate 1700 or something.. Had a Great day!

    I over did it yesterday and that's why I'm here today. I've got to find a way to lose some of that extra weight I picked up. Any tips would be appreciated to get me back on track.

    it's a common occurrence for me to over do it on the holidays. I found a good blog to help me "recover" from my over eating without feeling depressed. You can find it at this link. http://www.urgravity.com/Blogs/

    Good luck.

    Awesome job. You've got me beat. Including my dessert, I had 486 calories and was also stuffed. It feels good to navigate such a holiday, be satisfied and sensible at the same time. :drinker:

    How does one "stuff" themselves with <500 calories?

    I also had 459 calories for thanksgiving. Oh, wait... I forgot a zero at the end. 4590... There. Much more accurate.

    Today started with a run, then a Krispy Kreme donut, and well then I got serious . . . about eating. I don't go crazy but I do enjoy. Its one holiday, Christmas will be another, I'll probably have cake and ice cream on my birthday (and heck even my wife's and kids' birthdays) and I will undoubtedly eat BBQ on July 4th. Soooo that's 7 days vs 358 when I pretty much behave myself.

    Well said!

    Um yes, this was me too - turkey trot 5k + krispy kreme donut .... then i chowed down for dinner! It was delish, and I rarely do it so it's totally fine! This is a maintainable lifestyle - and that's why I've lost all this weight! :)

    I forgot to add the quote referring to how do you stuff yourself with less than 500 calories.


    Lots and lots of veggies. I had turkey and honey baked ham as well. I also made myself a low-carb, sugar-free pumpkin pie which was really freakin' good. I had that while everyone else had the other desserts, blackberry pie, apple strudel and chocolate cake. My plate was filled up, just like everyone else's plate.
