Hey feint,

Hehe. Sounds like you took care of your goals and responsibilities ahead of
time. I always try to get ahead before the holidays and trips, but don't
always quite make it ;)

Hey Pete,

Thanks! Good call on salad first – I can't imagine how I would have handled
5 thanksgiving dinners! I mostly ate turkey – but I do like pumpkin pie!

Sid,

Very timely, thanks for this. I'm particularly all about getting friends and family on-board. Team Up!

One simple trick I was employing during my (FIVE) Thanksgiving(s) to keep the consumption from getting out of control is filling up the plate with salad first...thus forcing the concentrated calories to the fringes.

Hey Stephen,

Thanks for your comment!

I think that's a good attitude to have - no sense beating yourself up over a
couple days when you've stuck to good habits the rest of the month/year =).
My personal take on it is I like to plan for it, so that even as I'm eating
less nutritiously (for example), I know that even that meal is on track

You're absolutely right though - no sense in blowing it out of proportion.
Enjoy the holidays and time with family - and just don't let the short term
excuse of a holiday derail the goals long term =)
