    Thank you for your well written words. I wish I could favorite the post and keep it to go back to on the days I beat myself up over food. And I still have those days. It's been a long journey to learn new thought patterns. For some of us, it's not just the holidays, its any day with food requires un-learning the guilt or the anger or what ever issue we have around food. I'm a secret binge eater and I still do it. It may be small amounts but when I hide what I'm eating from my family, from my log, I know I'm not completely there yet. So thank you. May your holiday be blessed in all the ways you want.

    Bravo! Yes, I've been there (eating hardly anything on turkey day), and I'm very thankful (heh) to be where I am now.

    Thanksgiving is finally just another day, and I WILL enjoy ALL TEH FOODZ.

    Thank you for this thought. I had not been on this site for 18 months and decided today to start back up and make it work. Part of me thought I was stupid for saying I was going to lose weight starting the week before Thanksgiving, but then if not now---When?

    Your post is the exact right mindset for me to start back up and do what I need to do for me.

    Thanks for the reminder. My guess is that I'll read this several more times between now and next weekend.
