Pre-Thanksgiving Weigh-in--what are your strategies for the holiday?

Hi All:

I am home from my Disney vacation, and was pleasantly surprised when I got on the scale.  I feel like I ate my way across DisneyWorld, but still no weight gain, WOOT!  We ran the half-marathon, and also ran a couple of other times around the resort, plus lots of walking.  I'm sure that helped. 

Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 138.8

This week: 138.5

Loss of 0.3 lbs

This week is a challenging one for a lot of people:  an entire holiday built around a huge meal!  What are your strategies for Thanksgiving?  My strategy last year, that I plan to repeat this year, is to take just a taste of the stuff I like.  I don't want to tell myself I "can't" have something, so I will just have a bite or two of the dishes I really enjoy.  In my family, there are enough different dishes that even one bite of everything fills a plate!

My downfall is the grazing--we always have the endless dessert and snack table--I just need to stay away from that.  Fortunately, there is always someone to go for a walk with.  How about you?

This is my first major holiday since my RNY so this year I will be feeling it out, for the most part I plan on really keeping water in me, plus staying away from high starchy foods.  Stick to the turkey and veggies!  We will see how it works
