Because...I enjoy it? Why do I need a better reason than that?

I just don't understand how anyone can care about 'overindulging' one day a year. I could understand if it was every day, but for one day a year I just don't get it. Can't people relax, eat whatever they want, and enjoy a day of rest, relaxation, and a little bit of gluttony with their family?

I mean I just say its one day. This thing is a lifetime journey. When I adopt all my habits every day then breaking the rules on 1-2 days is no big deal.

I get it. There is a lot of social pressure to eat and eat and eat on Thanksgiving- especially so if you are a guest at someone’s house. The best approach her me is to say no to the apps and random snacks set out and take whatever you want for dinner. But don’t stuff.

What is the point in adding this? What other people eat has absolutely NOTHING to do with you. You are not better than other people because you restrict yourself.

I get in a morning Turkey trot and prepare to be tired at the end of the day. I reserve my stomach real estate for the foods I don’t get to eat often and leave out those I don’t care for.

My plan is to eat slowly. That's it. The faster I eat the more I eat because my body takes longer to register it is full that way, and I tend to eat fast so I have to be conscious to slooooowww down.

This doesn’t have to be hard. Get a workout in when you wake up, eat a dinner with normal portions of holiday foods, maybe sneak the dog out for a walk after dinner to decompress and manage the blood sugar spike (take a family member or two if it makes you feel better), resume normal life on Friday.
