My slippery slope to Fat Pants Land starts at Halloween and doesn't end till the Valentine's candy is gone. LeSigh. (I'm all about the desserts but I don't discriminate against any holiday foods.)

I'm extremely thankful that we met, Joanna! I love your blog and the comments you leave me. I'm going to try to be good this Thanksgiving and just sample a bit of all of it. I still have some weight to lose so I don't want to make it worse for me, which translates as have to work harder to get it off! LOL!!
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!!

Hugs and love,

2009-11-25T08:06:25.391-08:00

To prevent post Thanksgiving blues when the blood sugar drops to more normal levels, I decided to replace this year's pleasures of eating with the pleasure of having a different kind of fun. So I am leaving today to celebrate Thanksgiving in Bora Bora, with French cooked fresh fish and tropical fruit. Read my post next week about this adventure.

Hapy Thanksgivig everyone and many thanks to you Joanna, for your constant support and your absolutely fabulous posts all year long.

2009-11-24T21:27:19.162-08:00

I've been going through the whole love hate thing with food for about 25 years...I'm 43....I started going to a dietician a month ago. To my surprise, I was only eating about 800 calories a day. My body was holding on to every bite I took. It's a huge adjustment to try and eat more when you've spent most of your life trying to eat less. So, I say eat, drink and be merry over the holiday. If you are not eating enough try and eat a bit ore each day.I cn't be the only 43 year old that is in this boat.

I too look at the turkey as a means by which to acquire gravy for the potatoes and stuffing. Yep. Total carbfest.

I know what you mean. I need to drop 25 lbs., it is hard to do, those nasty carbs will do you in every time. Have a great Thanksgiving and thank you for stopping by.

Happy Thanksgiving! Ahhh, whats a few pounds? :)

2009-11-24T12:41:20.989-08:00

I can SOOO relate!! Except THIS Thanksgiving will be spent in our 5th wheel and Dan will be cooking skinned, boned chicken breasts on the grill! I am making "fake" stuffing (out of the box); so limited on what we can do while here in our 5th wheel.

Enjoy!!

2009-11-24T08:39:37.259-08:00

I come from Britain where we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, and live in Sweden where they don't celebrate... .You get the picture.

My favourite all-time food is dark chocolate - in all forms and shapes and sizes!

2009-11-24T06:30:24.110-08:00

you know...I really only look forward to the stuffing smothered in some gravy and my broccoli casserole...everything else is kinda normal and whatever to me...

this year, my dessert will be the mystery....either it wil be fabulous or a total flop....it took me 4 stores just to find what I needed....who knew everyone used gingerbread mix this time of year....

the happiest of thanksgivings to you my friend !!!

2009-11-23T21:44:27.389-08:00

Oh, Joanna... I so know how you feel. I'm a little more manic-depressive with food, I think. I go all the way and then go all the other way. Four months ago I weighed 30 pounds more than I do today. And I feel in a year I will slip again. I'm trying to wear out my organs before I turn 45.

Great post. Enjoy your carb-coma!

2009-11-23T19:05:48.948-08:00

I love the idea of having two dinners. My mom is always sad when we dont go to her house but we do have to share with my hubbys family. She understands but I know it hurts her. Maybe I should suggest this sometime.

Would it be too obvious to say my favorite food is french fries? I like potatoes in most forms and Thanksgiving mashed potatoes to me are more magical than any mashed potatoes the rest of the year. That is of course if whomever is making them does it from real potatoes and not the fake ones. I dont mind those they're just not for thanksgiving.

2009-11-23T16:22:47.813-08:00

Sounds like you know how to enjoy the day(s). I really think people should worry about the carbs/fat/whatever on all those other days of the year. Of course if you think everyday is just another feast day, well that's another problem.

Been there, doing that Joanna. I can remember undoing the top of my pants for Thanksgiving dinner and pulling my shirt down over so no one could see. Enjoy your holidays.
