    As soon as I know all we're having I'm planning on pre-logging so that I can choose what I want to eat without binging.

    Easiest thing: Eat only one scoop of every side item. One piece of ham and/or turkey. One piece of dessert. Also,drink lots of water. One is my majic number. You can't fail. Then just go back to your normal life.

    It's one day. Use common sense and don't forget to enjoy yourself.

    For me it's about family first, food second. If I have a plan before events come up, I always do well. Decide what your plan will be & rock it :)

    I'll enjoy but log my food and plan out my day. I'm cooking so I know how to plan. We're having homemade fried chicken instead of turkey (we don't really like it.) For me it's more about family although the pumpkin gooey cake and tiramisu pie know me by name as well! Enjoy your holiday!

    My TOPS group has a contest. We weigh the week before the holiday--our standard weigh-in. When we weigh after the holiday, if we loose, we get a prize...usually a small amount of money. Is some incentive. We have another, longer running contest going as well. I enjoy my Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) group immensely.

    I had the same idea in mind. Was absolutely stuffed way before I thought I would be though. : )

    I'm just going to eat 1/4-1/2 cup of everything that I want (luckily, that isn't much from the choices), & distribute it throughout the day so that I don't overeat. I'm going to eat more of the desserts; Thanksgiving & Easter are the only times that I eat these sweets!

    Just remind yourself, 'there's always tomorrow to eat more'. That's the best way, I think!

    I don't think I'll log, but really I'm not too worried. Turkey isn't high cal, there's lots of veggies involved. Compared to some other holidays it's pretty safe in my opinion, but we don't do the candied yams or any of that. My son is making a pie from an actual pumpkin so I will be having that for sure!

    Sample a little bit of everything a spoonful will do it. Don't stress about the calories...The Holiday is stressful as it is so don't add to it :) Consider it your free pass of the week and add an extra work out.

    Well, turkey is good for you! If you want to keep to your goals on Thursday, keep your servings small, eat a lot of veggies that aren't smothered in something and go for a long walk or to the gym.

    But, whatever you do, don't feel bad or guilty or stressed. Enjoy your family, give thanks for all your blessings and relax! :)
