I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We are smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. We have already made it past the feast of turkey and dressing, now onto the ham and santa cookies!! Here are some tips to avoid over stuffing your plates and feeling miserable!!
-Use a smaller plate. Don't grab the platter, go for a salad plate. This will limit the amount of food you put onto your plate at one time. I bet you will be full when it is empty:)
-Don't get a biscuit. I know, this seems like an impossible task ( I love bread!!) But not getting it will make you feel better afterwards, I promise.
-Drink water with your meal instead of sweet tea. I know we live in the south but you can do it!
-Dessert...Oh how I love dessert...But we must have restraint. I know Aunt Rosie makes the best pecan pie with homemade whip cream and Cousin Alma bakes a killer cheesecake, BUT.....do we really need 2 pieces of each? No, we don't. Get small slivers of dessert. This way you satisfy your sweet tooth without overstuffing yourself.
-All of these rules also apply to our kids. If we don't set a good example for them , how are they suppose to know the right way to do things?
Now to only practice what I preach....
