Hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving!!!!
I had a wonderful Turkey dinner last night at my Grandma's. My Aunt cooked everything up and my cousin and his gf came over from the mainland. It was so awesome because a few days before she called me up to find out what I could eat - I found that SO thoughtful, and she asked me if I would bring a dessert that I'm allowed to have so I made a cheesecake and everybody raved about it!
When I arrived, I realized I should have stopped to pick up something to drink as everybody else was drinking wine/beer. I was going to head to the store down the road and pick up some caffeine free diet Pepsi, but my cousin said he'd run and get it for me, to just sit and relax. It was so sweet of him!
My Aunt's best friend lost 50 pounds doing LC about 15 years ago, and kept it off, so she was so supportive, as was everyone else. I never felt I was 'missing' anything - I had wondered how I would deal with the holidays but it was surprisingly easy!!! I had an extra-large bowl of salad, lots of turkey, veggies, and didn't even bat an eye when passing by the mashed potatoes, stuffing, candied yams, peas and carrots, etc. It was a lovely evening.
