Last Thursday in November, Just Another Day
I am thankful, grateful, and feel wonderfully blessed EVERY day of the year. As a former compulsive overeater, now in recovery, Thanksgiving is just another day for me, where I aim to practice healthy habits and avoid overindulgence with food. I will gladly focus on my people, on catching up, on encouraging and supporting each other, on quality time, on fun, jokes, and games.
Some other principles I use to navigate the holiday regarding food (overeating, and the “sweet tooth”):
1. NO is a complete sentence when others push a food item.
2. I learned from last years’s holidays how just a tiny bit of indulgence raised my A1C way up. It was NOT worth it to almost undo/destroy the super hard work I did for the whole year before, the workouts, the healthier eating, and more. As a result, this year “indulgence” and “moderation” have new meanings for me, with emphasis on “very little”. I will define my moderation much differently, I will read food labels, I will calculate the calories, look up “serving sizes”, avoid salt and sugar, and others.
What are some of your thoughts on this topic?
