    THIS.


    I'll probably log it, just for the sake of logging, but I doubt it will be anywhere close to accurate, let alone close to goal. It's one day a year and I'm not missing out on any of that yummy goodness.

    It's all about what you're doing 80 - 90% of the time, not the minutia of one day...a holiday...birthday, etc. There will always be these "occasions" and that's just what they are...they are occasions...they are not representative of what you're doing as a whole generally speaking. Don't get mired in minutia...you will kill your motivation and progress.

    I plan on making all my normal awesome stuff (lemon meringue pie, pumpkin pie, biscuits, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, homemade cranberry sauce, turkey, gravy, carrots) and eating reasonably but without worrying and working out extra before and after. So I'm not planning on limiting, but also not planning on binging to excess. Just going to make it all and love it all and work out and revel in the fact that by then, I should have more than 80 pounds gone :)

    QFT

    Gonna eat everything, probably have seconds too. Then another round in the middle of the night.
    Then the next day I will have a belly ache, and probably carry around a few extra pounds of food in my gut and water I've retained from the sodium and smile all day long because I freakin love thanksgiving. I'll have leftovers that night too.
    On Saturday...back on the calorie counting wagon.

    I have three separate dinners this weekend. I plan to stick to a bit of turkey, lots of roasted vegetables, and stealing bites of the stuffing/mashed potato/bread stuff from my boyfriend's plate. He doesn't have a huge sweet tooth so we'll share small dessert portions too.

    If it were just one meal I wouldn't worry too much but with three in a row, all wine-drenched, I do need to keep an eye on it a bit.

    I am with the "EAT ALL THE THINGS" posters. It's quite true. I refuse to worry about my food that day. My veggies aren't too bad, anyway, and the leftovers rarely make it past Friday in my house. So, really, it's not a big deal.

    I don't know. I'm always the one that does the cooking. I would say "screw it" it's only one day, but I am afraid that one day would lead to 2 days which would lead to 3 days etc. So... I'm thinking about making some stuff more "diet" friendly and only making one pie. That way there is no leftover pie to consume. Or maybe doing a pumpkin custard, which would be healthier. I'll have to deal with my birthday, an anniversary and Thanksgivng all within about 2 weeks. That's a lot of eat whatever I want days.

    I haven't really thought about it other than to decide I am going to eat what ever I want. We are visiting good friends who recently moved to San Fran. I have never been there before and I guess my friend made us reservations at a "legendary" (her words) restaurant for the night before Thanksgiving since we will actually have to head home on Thanksgiving day.

    It is a good thing I like suprises:laugh:

    I eat some of everything. But my portion sizes *are* smaller than they used to be, even at celebratory events, now. I'm OK with it.
