I don't have a desk like some people, but I can scootch my plate over and make enough room to write here while I relax after a fantastic lunch. I am here to help. Here is my advice on this sunny, glorious holiday.

Enjoy your meal and time with family and friends. Don't stress over the calories. Enjoy some ham. Or lamb. And eggs. Definitely potatoes. And some candy. It's one day. Live a little.

Maybe go out in the backyard and play some croquet or bocce if you want exercise (Important note: Bocce is one of the few sports that does NOT require you to put down your drink when playing.)

Then get back at it tomorrow. And stick with it. No quitting. And for Pete's sake, stop all the whining.

    Thanks Sad Grandpa.

    Totally agree. What frustrates me a little is those who have the chance of creating special memories with their families, spending their time analysing and panicking over the calories. It is ONE damn day. Some of us did not even get the chance to spend the day with loved ones or have a nice homecooked meal for the day. Your loved ones will not be around forever, you never know what is around the corner so for goodness sakes, fully embrace the time you get to spend with them.
