Food for thought:
How will you handle Thanksgiving day?
Will you tell yourself, "It's Thanksgiving—nobody can expect me to watch what I eat!"?
Or will you focus on the healthy stuff offered to you and enjoy the fattening stuff in moderation?
The point I want to make is this: you have a choice. You're in control. You have free will. Decide what you're going to do on the approaching day of national excess. If you decide it's going to be your "cheat day," enjoy yourself, with zero guilt.
If you decide to minimize the caloric damage, know that you can do it. Eat mindfully. Eat slowly. Don't let anyone pressure you into eating anything you don't truly want.
Here's what we plan to do: go for a bike ride early on Thanksgiving day, then visit friends and enjoy what we want in moderation.
