My plan for tomorrow... AND I'm sticking to it!!!

Breakfast: Coffee (lord I love coffee.... well I love the stuff I put in my coffee.. half & half and splenda) some sort of protein (not along with the coffee of course)

Dad's House Early Lunch 11:30am: 3 oz Turkey and a spoonful of green beans, maybe 1 bite of broccoli casserole that I am bringing.

Mom's House early afternoon 1:00pm: not eating, just visiting

Sister-in-law's house 4:00pm: 3 oz Turkey again or Ham and a spoonful of something green.

I REALLY want to stay away from any form of desert. I want to have the privilege of saying the next day that a holiday did not beat me this year. Specially with all of the whining that I have been doing on here lately...lol I wonder if it will offend any of my family if I bring my scale along with me???? I don't care, I'm taking it anyways! I am horrible at eyeballing portions!

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL of you and many blessings to you and your family!!!

Sounds like a plan! You will do great. My plan is very similar to yours except I only have to visit one house and one dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am cooking tomorrow (everything but desserts - avoid temptation!).  I completely plan to be weighing my food.  I also have a travel kitchen scale - that if I were not the one cooking - I would totally bring to someone else's house.  My health over their weird eyes lol

Holy crap!  For a second I thought you meant you would bring your scale that you weigh yourself on then realized you meant your food scale.  Dang, that was a trip!

Do what you have to do.  Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family too!!!

 

I am laughing out loud because I too thought you meant you were taking your bathroom scale!

 

 

I am cooking our dinner but plan to eat small portions just like you, stickin to it is what we all need to do. Good luck all and Happy Thanksgiving!

Your weight at beginning is same as mine...when did you have your surgery?  

Ok, I am right there with ya! I am at mother in-laws, who is an AMAZING cook. There are sweets EVERYWHERE. Right now, there are 5 Pies on the table, haystacks, homemade cookies, m&m's, etc.      I have decided, along with Elina, that I am not to touch ANY sweets. This is my poison. I can say no to the rolls, no big deal, but the true test will be the sweets. 

Elina told me to remember that I am the hero in this by saying no, not the victim. 

Lets do this together and know we are not alone. 

You can do this!  I believe in you.

I am cooking a small meal, ham, homemade cranberry sauce (no sugar), and a low carb pumpkin dessert from one of the WLS food blogs (can't remember which one). My friend is bringing a sweet potato dish made with SF Torrani. Three out of the five who will be at dinner have had WLS, so we are purposely only making a small amount of a few things.
