Thinner Thanksgiving Tip #3: Laugh…A LOT!!!!<\/p>\n

Today we are on the less seriously side of Thanksgiving.\u00a0 While I do think it’s important to keep calories, activity and portions in check on Thanksgiving, it’s also…..THANKSGIVING!\u00a0 It’s a holiday meant to be spent with family, friends and loved ones.\u00a0 Today is a great day to kind of forget about your serious dieting and see how you’re naturally eating.\u00a0 Just keep it in check.<\/p>\n

Time spent with loved ones can be just as rejuvenating and good for your health as a quick stop at the gym.\u00a0 It’s a holiday, give yourself some wiggle room and just enjoy the day.\u00a0 I am concerned about my ability to let it go and focus on the fun of the holiday.\u00a0 This isn’t my first thanksgiving in my new lifestyle, but I’m still worried that I won’t be able to let the food aspect go.\u00a0 I’m going to try my hardest!<\/p>\n

There’s definitely something to be said about your mindset on Thanksgiving.\u00a0 I have to say, I’m nervous.\u00a0 I’ve been super careful in all the days leading up to Thanksgiving just to give myself some wiggle room.\u00a0 Have you ever heard that statistic that “People gain between 5 and 10 pounds over the Thanksgiving holiday?”\u00a0 I’ve hear it all the time but I was curious whether that’s actually true.\u00a0 First, what time frame are we talking about? So I looked it up.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I found: I read several different sites on this and it is only true for the extremely glutinous!\u00a0 In a few studies there were extreme outliers that did gain upwards of five pounds.\u00a0 However, the actual average is a pound or two.\u00a0 Here’s two of the sites I read:<\/p>\n

CNN <\/a>\u00a0 Mental Floss<\/a><\/p>\n

So here’s the point of today’s post: Celebrate and Laugh.\u00a0 Try to enjoy your holiday without focusing on every single morsel of food.\u00a0 Fill your plate with what you know you can have and just let it go.\u00a0 Enjoy the time for what it is: Giving Thanks.<\/p>\n

Here’s visual of what laughter can do for you!<\/p>\n

PS – Don’t forget to thank all of those around you that are helping you on your journey.\u00a0 I myself have a few cards and bottles of wine that I’ll be giving out!<\/p>\n
