How was your Thanksgiving?

Did you do well on Thanksgiving?
Please - tell me how it went - bad or good - eehh?

 I can honestly say that I did really good...I didn't over eat, and I made good choices...Once I started feeling like I was getting full, I put my plate in the sink away from where I was sitting...This way I didn't continue to eat what was left on my plate, as I tend to do that...It was one of my days to where I couldn't eat much of anything...Its strange, cuz other days I feel like I can eat a horse...I wonder if anyone else goes through this?

How was your Thanksgiving?  

we all have days we feel like we ould eat a horse i think - well - especially a few years out - but, when we do eat the horse - he gets in our little pouch and kicks it around and lets us know that we cant do that anymore

It went pretty well. I have a cold so I didn't eat much at all.  Few bites of dark meat and a bit of mashed and a bit of sweet potatoes and I was done.

I have days when I can't eat much at all and other days where I too, could eat a horse.

I munch on Spitz sunflower seeds alot.  One continous source of protein.

Happy holidays

It went how I planned, which is why I made a plan.  I went to my son and dil's house and I knew there would be turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy that I could eat.  Other then that I played it by ear.  I brought a side dish and dessert that I knew I would be able to eat.  I allowed for anything else that might be there that was sugar free and gluten free (there wasn't) and I ate what I had decided to eat.  I loaded up on the dark meat turkey with a little white meat for measure, had some mashed potatoes and gravy, a little of my mashed cauliflower and for dessert I had my protein almond cookie I brought and a little of the sugar free, gluten free New York cheesecake I brought.  I sent my leftovers how with  my dil's grandfather, who is diabetic and thrilled to be able to have cheesecake.  I didn't pay attention to what anyone else was eating and when I knew I was finished I brought my dish to the sink so I wouldn't pick at it.  After that I visited with my family and had a good time.  

It was fine, I don't eat a whole lot, so mainly I had a small piece of turkey, some yummy stuffing, cranberry sauce and some corn.  I think I had one bite of my bread and I tasted the squash and carrot combo vegetable but that was it.  I doubt I even ate a cup of food.  I had a small slice of pumpkin pie a while later.

For dinner we had stuffed shells, that were delicious, I had two.

i shouldnt eat more than a cup of food - sometimes that even seems like too much


and sometimes i eat way MORE than a cup and regret it!

It was delicious, thank you! But I can say I'm very glad to be finished with the leftovers!

We had turkey, cornbread dressing, green beans, scalloped potatoes, brocoli-cheese casserole, creamed corn, sliced tomatoes, giblet gravy, yeast rolls,  lemon ice-box pie, walnut pie, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce. I had some of everything except the last three---'cause I don't LIKE those. (*grin*)

In the days following, we've also had turkey salad, turkey soup, and just plain turkey. I LOVE turkey, but I'm pretty tired of it right now---so we're having chili for dinner tonight.
