thanksgiving and success

[Guest guest]

What DOES everyone do for thanksgiving? Obviously it is easy to overeat, how can we overcome that with out temptation. I mean, there is always temptation with food, but not quite like it is on thanksgiving.Just thought id share a small goal that I think I have attained. I started last year to have an issue with eating late into the night. I love healthy food during the day, but at night-cravings hit. I always said "tomorrow, i wont do it" but it never works. ever. Well, tonight I think I have overcame it-and a huge thanks to all of you. I was watching a movie with my family tonight, and i had an urge to go grab something to snack on, but i wasnt hungry. I immediately thought of all you ladies and what we ahve been striving for and teaching our selves and each other about IE- and I simply just said no. I knew it would be there in the morning. I just said to myself, if I want success, im going to have to make it happen, it isnt magic, SO, thanks ladies for being so

supportive not jsut to me but everyone in the group. It really is helpful. I jsut hope I can keep this up!kelley Marie Newton wrote: Well, I lost about 30 pounds last year on Weight Watchers. My doctor was thrilled - I have since gained about 1 pound a month steadily (even when I was still on WW), and have put on about 15 of those pounds. Today, I was at the Dr. and he said my blood pressure is up somewhat, and noticed my weight gain. He "helpfully" suggested I take off about

10 pounds. (Hmm, isn't that a simple suggestion!) So, I have felt so much better about my life in general since starting IE, but now I wonder if I should be losing more weight, and I'm starting to hear my diet mentality screaming in my head that I should not eat dinner tonight, and not eat Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday and I should run 10 miles tomorrow, etc. etc.. Has anyone run into this issue, and how did you handle it?
