Who’s ready to stuff their face and fall into a food coma next Thursday?

We go to Stu’s grandparent’s every year, and every year, like an idiot, I bring along my own low-fat salad dressing, 100 calories pita pockets (for my turkey sandwich later that night), and a lite, low-fat dessert. I want there to be options for ME. Is this selfish? I say “why the hell not”?

For the past three years, I’m the only one in the family that doesn’t slip into that dreaded “carb coma”, 2 hours after dinner. Do you have a game plan for Thanksgiving day? Or do you eat your face off and deal with feeling gross the next day??

I found this “Thanksgiving Portion Primer” to be very helpful. It’s a great way to at least have an idea of what a real “portion” looks like..not that anyone in my family (except me) will actually use this. It’s a good visual though.

Happy Turkey Day!!
