Making a public Holiday Pledge!

OK, here it is, the day before Thanksgiving and we OH folks are faced with the annual food-fest. The band has made life so much easier, but I still have the head-hunger issues. It rears its ugly head this time of year. So I'm making a public pledge and here it is:
I will not overendulge tommorow and control my portions. I will allow myself a dessert. I will not snack or graze. I will celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving and be grateful for all that I have.
OK-So what's yours?

Thanks Deb!!

I am going to remember that stuffing is just stuffing.  It's not the best thing in the world, I don't have to eat a ton of it, and it will be here next year.

Good Luck to all of us! ;)

I also fight the head hunger daily...Thank you for throwing this out there.....Brenda I am with you stuffing is soooooooooo good....and I will allow myself some along with green bean casserole and hashbrown casserole after protein is in the ole pouch.......I better pray for even more strength than usual in the morning...lol.....Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!

I pledge to enjoy the best quality dishes and give my taste buds the pleasure of enjoying delicious food.  I'll leave behind the boring stuff (like mashed potatoes or stuffing) and not waste precious pouch space with things I don't even enjoy the taste of. 

Honestly, I'm on a "Food Holiday" tomorrow.  I'll eat whatever the heck I want to eat.  My pouch size will keep portions reasonable, of course.  Dinner isn't until 3pm and it's at someone else's house.  So I won't begin indulging until afternoon and when I leave, I won't be taking leftovers.  So it's one meal and I'll indulge to my heart's content.  

My plan isn't the right plan for everyone and I don't recommend it if you don't have the ability to think of it as "one meal".  If indulging will set into motion any out of control feelings that can't be stopped beyond a single meal, then don't do it.  But I know I can, so that's my plan. 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I'm right there with Pam.

I allow my self indulgences on occasion.  But the next meal is back on track!  That's what "normal" people do and that's how I'm going to live. 

Have a great day all,

There are so many sides, what do I choose.  I choose all.  Instead of using the normal serving spoon to dish out my food.  I use my eating spoon.  This allows me to have a bite or two of all the sides.  Then I don't feel guilty about leaving food on my plate.  Also, at home I usually use a small salad plate to eat off from.  When a guest at another's home, I use my 14 year old's neices example and not letting my food touch.  This helps in keeping the amount of food on your plate down.
