For instance, homemade whipped sweet potatoes with maple glazed pecans? Oh, yeah.<BR/>Mashed potatoes? Feh. Not so much. Maybe later when I have leftovers. <BR/>Special hot artichoke dip? Oh, yeah. Chips and onion dip? Nah, I could have that any time. Saves a lot of calories, eliminating the ordinary.Shieldmaiden96http://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329781496603357613.post-87996440341977671122008-11-22T08:08:00.000-06:002008-11-22T08:08:00.000-06:00FADKOG - My inlaws are insanly loud too. That's why I would rather put up with the 8 hour drive and my bossy mother. <BR/><BR/>Laufa- Thanks! Somedays are easier than others for sure!<BR/><BR/>Dee- Good thing you are not in Wisconsin. These people bring their booze right along into church festivites with them. You should see some of the summer church festivals, all about the beer.<BR/><BR/>Johhny's Mommy - I've found that the weeks that I am short on water, I loos less weight and don't feel as good. It's all about the water!<BR/><BR/>Corina - I hate that feeling. Knowing you have to interact with someone who makes your skin crawl. Good luck. :-(<BR/><BR/>Casey - Thankfully I don't havr another weigh in for 2 weeks!!!<BR/><BR/>STCG- Club Half As Small As You. Check out the link at the top of the post! It's a group that's really good as kicking your rear in gear! Casey is our leader. :-)<BR/><BR/>Sammanthia - The only willpower I have is because I HATE MY TREADMILL. I would rather not eat than do an hour on the treadmill. ;-)Seriously Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02926843376834336114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329781496603357613.post-32407088555992864662008-11-21T19:34:00.000-06:002008-11-21T19:34:00.000-06:00Way to go!!! That's awesome, you should be really proud of yourself.<BR/>The holidays suck for dieting, but I don't have the will power to just say no to sticky buns.

I'd be milking that excuse to lounge on the couch and eat McDonalds. I'm declaring Thanksgiving a diet-free day, I think you should too. One day won't kill your plans, just don't do it too often. Have fun at your parent's house, I hope the family drama is kept to a minimum. I'm sure it won't be at my parent's house...Caseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477976300026766137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329781496603357613.post-84125011177615829822008-11-21T08:35:00.000-06:002008-11-21T08:35:00.000-06:00Great tips. <BR/><BR/>A typical Thanksgiving at my parents..... <BR/><BR/>35 people. Loud. Argue about politics and religion even if they all agree. 1800 sq ft. house. <BR/><BR/>This year..... just the immediate family.... but that means I have to face someone I am not comfortable with these days. <BR/><BR/>Where is that drink?Corinahttp://www.dtemama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329781496603357613.post-39995268577857399522008-11-21T08:33:00.000-06:002008-11-21T08:33:00.000-06:00These are great ideas. <BR/><BR/>I want to use the water idea, but always forget to drink like I should.<BR/><BR/>the other drinking...no worries. no one in my family drinks at all. <BR/><BR/>Having a mom who had a couple violent alcoholics in her family will cure that pretty darn fast.<BR/><BR/>Well, my brother and sis-in-law do drink, but they don't at mom and dad's....just ain't gonna happen :-)<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, hang in there and keep up the good work!Jonny's Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329781496603357613.post-64669905111530797532008-11-21T08:23:00.000-06:002008-11-21T08:23:00.000-06:00GREAT TIPS!!!

Sigh...<BR/><BR/>I just may have to contribute that pie to the holiday dinner, at least for my saving grace. It sounds pretty damn tasty!for a different kind of girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.com
