Tripletdad, how did Thanksgiving go???

I have been wondering all wekend how you made it through Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving went well.  I decided to skip out of the mother-in-law's dinner and helped my parents by cooking their ham, while my mother was working.  I had small bites of things that I could eat; some mashed potatoes, SF pudding, jello.  Had a bite of ham, chewed it up and spit it out.  Was nice, felt like I was being bad, but didn't hurt myself. 

Now, if I can resist the temptation of the cookies, pies, cakes, etc. that comes with all of the Christmas season, I will be on the home stretch. 

The main thing I learned is to find things that I can eat that remind me of eating at these occasions.  That way I don't feel too deprived. 

Way to go.  1 holiday down 1 to go.  Next year you will be in maintenance mode and it should be easier - hopefully

Very small samples no sweets.  Went well, very full and no choice problems.  I can eat most anything now, but I watch like a hawk my proteins and good carbs.
