Eat whatever you want! sometimes...

It's Thanksgiving ok, and chances are you could be away from home. And the social faux pas of hiding your lunch cooler under the table and bringing out your pre-made Tupperware oddities, is just too destructive!

Instead, load up on the salad (hopefully the cooks were kind enough to leave the dressing on the side) and search for Clean veggies with a lot of flavor! Find those good cuts of turkey and if they are cooked just right, you wont even need to bother with the gravy! Watch out for those breads and white carbs though, yikes! Looking at potatoes, hopefully there is a yam option that hasn't been bastardized by marshmallows and brown sugar (never understood that one). And trust me, I can make some killer mashed potatoes from scratch, but I would only about 1/4 cup, once a year. What makes things so delicious??? BUTTER! ; )

So don't go into the holiday season about to commit social suicide or create that high level of guilt that will ravage you for days to come, be calm, cool and collected and remember, its JUST ONE MEAL!! That meal alone, will not make you squishy!
