I just saw an article in the paper about how to save calories during Thanksgiving dinner by sticking to white turkey meat (no skin, of course!), a small helping of mashed potatoes (no gravy, naturally!) and loading up on extra green beans. And I am begging you: Check your diet at the door, throw your willpower out the window, this is NOT the day for counting calories.
And keep this in mind: Perhaps you have a houseful of family and friends for dinner. Maybe you've been cooking all day, with dear ones by your side, and you've resurrected traditional favorites that have been passed down for generations. Or maybe someone else is doing most of the cooking and you're providing one or two of your most-loved contributions. Either way, there probably isn't another meal during the year that is founded so much on love and togetherness. Feed off that, be well nourished by it, and be thankful for every single morsel.
Happy Thanksgiving!
