    Eating food is not a sin. Thanksgiving, Christmas, your Aunt Jean's birthday is only a few days out of the year. There is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself and most importantly enjoying LIFE.

    It's a shame that it took me a couple of years to finally learn that life overall is all about balance. Oh and if you want to know what the real cause of weight gain is??? It's stress. Keep stress low and you will be fine.

    AMEN.......and sometimes it's a few of those people AT those gatherings that cause the stress. Stay focused and
    Don't let those people de-rail you...

    No doubt many people here will now start over eating like pigs again while reading stress management books

    Love that advice! I needed to hear this as I'm already feeling guilty about what I may eat tomorrow :/. Like you said, it's all about balance and is only a couple days out of the year. I will no longer feel guilty and will enjoy what I'm going to eat for Thanksgiving. Have a great day!

    I made the oreo cookies since they looked SO GOOD, but actually didn't taste as good as they looked! Won't bother me at all to say no thanks...I ate half and will let the rest of the family endulge!

    Happy Thanksgiving! Turkey trot tomorrow am, 5 mile run to start off the day. Balance is KEY...stress is hard to control.

    Portion Control
    Make Choices (eat what you really want but if it is just traditional and doesn't make your mouth sing, skip it)
    Relax
    Be Social (don't make the entire day about food, but do enjoy)
    Exercise (maybe not on the day of but in prep and after)
    Let it Go
    Portion Control (bears repeating, you don't have to eat until you are beyond stuffed to enjoy it)
