This morning, as I gear up to get the turkey in the oven, and make sure all the stuffing ingredients are properly chopped, I reflect on the last three months, during which I retook control of my eating life, and finally trimmed off 30 pounds (on my way to ultimately dropping 55), and I realize: today can be a bitch.
Thanksgiving has earned a reputation for being a day of out-of-control over-indulgence, a healthy eaters nightmare. For some people, it is synonymous with eating three days worth of calories in a sitting, passing out on the couch, and waking up to regret and self-loathing.
It doesn't have to be this way.
For any of you worried about today, remember that on your weight loss journey, you have learned the importance of moderation and mindfulness. There is no need to starve or deprive yourself. Just be cognizant of what you're doing. Make good choices, remember your portions, plan ahead if you need to "save up" calories for dessert. But don't let old habits make today a day of disappointment.
No matter what, today's supposed to be a day devoted to gratitude. So when the sun sets on Thanksgiving this evening, make sure you can thank yourself for making healthy choices and taking care of you.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! And good luck!
