THANKSGIVING Help Offer
The Holidays are usually a hard time for many of us to “get through". And Thanksgiving has to rank right up there as a “real test of our willpower"! While family members may sympathize with our struggle (and the sad reality is some don’t) no-one can really understand what you are going through until they have “walked in your shoes" – or pants.
That’s why I am suggesting starting a Thanksgiving Support Group in which folks can reach out to one another on that day if they are finding difficulties “surviving" the Holiday. In my opinion, the more support we have, the easier it will be to get through the holiday.
With all that said, if you Personal Message me, I am more the willing to give you my contact number in case you need to talk.
Anyone else willing to help? What a better way to show thanks for your "new life" then by helping another person?

It is a tough day, that pretty much all revolves around stuffing yourself. My husband is real supportive and I know will be helping me that day. He should since we'll be at his family and I call them the "food pushers". It makes it so hard, NORMALLY, but I just feel so renewed and alive again. It actually annoys me now, because I don't want it to be how many plates are the guys gonna eat, theres 5 scoops of potatoes left...who wants em? I am all ready pre-planning my plate in my head. I felt so good making it through Halloween without touching the candy, I am ready to tackle turkey day now too!!! :D Boo
