'Tis the season to get fat. Thanksgiving and religious holidays will hinder anyone's attempts to diet. Winter is a time of comfort food. Even the animals fatten up before they go hibernate.
Almost all my cheat meals for the rest of the year are planned out. Three holidays that will end up being cheat meals for me will be Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and New Year's. My office's holiday party will be another cheat meal too. Hell, even Christmas will be a cheat meal as it's commonly referred to as "Chinese food and movie day" in my family.
I used my cheat meal of this week last night while tailgating during the Eagles-Redskins game. I say during because we got there late and never even went into the damn stadium. But that's a whole other story. I ate chips and guacamole, cookies, and turkey burgers. I even drank a little Diet Coke, although that was due to lack of options and the fact I was thirsty.
Do I feel bad about this? Nope. I'm going to eat clean over the next 9 days until Thanksgiving. But I won't gorge myself on Thanksgiving. I'm planning on working out that morning and trying to limit carbs while still enjoying the holiday food.
