LPT: Thanksgiving is right around the corner, instead of freaking out about overeating -- enjoy the holiDAY and meal prep the leftovers so you can enjoy the delicious food all week and still be on track to lose weight.

Wanted to post this here as well! A friend told me to do this a while ago haha.

I did this last year. I made plates(in containers though) for brunch and dinner(with my pumpkin pie included too ahaha) of the left overs. Estimated/tracked the calories and still lost plenty of weight WHILE feasting on thanksgiving foods! Enjoyed the delicious food (and my pumpkin pie) every day, all week and still lost 2-3 pounds! Also watch the scale, that water weight will scare you but I promise it isn't fat gain haha, simply water..and all that food you just ate. Celebrate the day, and set the leftovers for meals for the next week and eat those! You don't have to literally save everything of course, just what you prefer!

But regardless of what happens, don't be scared or feel bad AT ALL, as the saying goes I've seen around here: It's not what you eat(or drink ;) ) between thanksgiving and new years, it's what you eat between new years and thanksgiving.
