  • Eat lots of the turkey and veggies and a smaller portion of dessert than you would have had before.
    A thanksgiving dinner doesn't have to be a nightmare. I'm a Brit. and what I do at Xmas is to try and get some exercise in so that I can have a few [hundred] calories more for all the calorie laden goodies that are floating around.
    As it's me that will be doing the cooking I reckon I will burn a good few calories just preparing the food I also make sure there is a calorie friendly starter too and by making everything yourself you can make sure there are no horrible hidden calories.

    I eat the things I really want in reasonable portions. Reasonable portions to me means that I don't keep eating after I'm full. I don't eat anything I don't really want. I track but I only estimate-- no food measuring/weighing. If I go over it's no big deal-- back to it tomorrow.

    Tis the season, and tomorrow is the big day, aka the day when most diet plans go awry. So how are you going to get through the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pies etc. without actually "going through" it all? Share your plan!

    Eat, Drink, and be Merry. It's one day. I am pretty sure I can handle it.

    With that said, I know there are folks out there who can't do that and that is ok.

    For you folks, stay strong, hold your course, and fight the good fight.

    I've already estimated high and logged what i think i will be eating today based on what i would normally eat at a holiday dinner. If i get there and suddenly change my ways then its no big deal. I saved up some calories over the last few days and if i have to i can lower then for the next few or give myself a treat for doing better than i expected.
