Thanksgiving foods aftermath....

Yes, the trick I find is to take a small dollop of everything (except green beans, get those things off my table!)

Later on you can go in for round 2 if so inclined

The Italians in New York are amazing
They have a big lasagna or baked Ziti first AND THEN out comes the bird and the sides!
That sort of thing could kill you

We're all going to gain 5 pounds this month for sure😬

I find that all the snacks (chips & dip, etc.) people put out, kill people's appetites. I never put anything out. Some people whine about it but thank me, after the meal.

It has something to do with the initial size of your stomach, too. It seems like starving yourself all day would be the thing to do, and while it does make you hungrier, it effectively shrinks your stomach making it much easier and faster to fill.

Thanksgiving food is really good, very true. I don't eat much of it, though. Seeing so much food - well, too much food - kills my appetite for some reason. I tend to nibble and that's enough. I hate that stuffed feeling. Ugh.

There is the obligation to just keep eating, its kind of gross. I agree with the take a tiny spoonful of everything. You taste everything but don't feel overstuffed.

I try small bites of everything - works best even dessert.

There is absolutely no reason to be eating vegetables at Thanksgiving, unless covered in cheese. Its Thanksgiving, vegetables are for the rest of the year.
