I hope you all have a great time with your friends and family during this time of the year when we give thanks to the many blessings we all enjoy! I thought maybe we could all check back in here after the holiday and report how we did with the temptation of great foods this time year. This is one holiday where food is definitely highlight of the event!

I was actually surprised at how easy Thanksgiving was for me. A little turkey, some mashed potatoes, and a few green beans. One splurge-a spoonful of my wife's stuffing. While everyone was doing pie, I had some sugar free pudding. A great day!

I got thinking this is kind of a stupid post, most of you are good and restricted and probably don't have to worry about messing up to bad. I'm still coming from a place of no restriction so everyday is still a battle! Anyway, it's good to hear from you, I'm sure even you longtime bandsters have to stay on top of it this time of year........Good luck!

Be prepared. Even with good restriction it's still a battle. Passing on sweet potatoes and pecan pie wasn't easy. Yes, the band does limit quantity, but it doesn't make the tough choices for you. Good luck!
