ST. LOUIS - This shouldn't come as a surprise: Thanksgiving is not the green light to a six-week indulgence that precedes the waddle back to the gym Jan. 2.

Experts advise Americans not to throw good habits out the window on Turkey Day and into the holiday season. Instead, choose carefully, eat slowly, and savor.
"It's normal and expected that most of us are going to overeat over the holidays," said St. Louis dietitian Diane Zych.
For most healthy people "it's a blip on the screen," she said. "But for people who struggle with their weight, it's a very dangerous time, it can really throw them off target."
The holiday season that starts with Thanksgiving (or even Halloween) and ends with New Year's is a slippery slope, said Barry Popkin, who directs the University of North Carolina Interdisciplinary Obesity Center. He said studies have shown that seasonal weight gain can be significant — up to 10 pounds.
"A pound you can't remove is a pound for life," he said.

Well this information is a little to late, considering thanksgiving was yesterday.

I was disappointed yesterday. I only had 1 plate of food the whole day. I just didn't feel like eating.

 

But there is such a thing as leftovers so this article is still good!

 

I only had one plate as well. But I did indulge in 7 or 8 crescent rolls.


Had the Colts game been on earlier, I might've been in more of a mood for eating!

 

I didn't think about that, I did have 3 servings of cherry delight.

 

I didn't bring any leftovers home. My wife is still there until Sunday to shop. I had to come back to Indy to work today. I'll probably stop at Mc Donalds for dinner tonight, lol.

 

Wow, I thought my family was the only one that had a recipe for cherry delight. My mom made one this year. First time we'd had one in a loooong time. I only had one serving though.

 

I did OK, till the cheese cake!

 

Will have the snidey pie today!

 

Cheese cake and cherry delight, that's what thanksgiving is about to me. lol

That's what America means to me.
