Induldging on Turkey Day

PaintedRocket · 11-26-2008, 06:24 AM

I'm sitting here watching CBS's morning show..

And they have plates of food and picking out what the "best of the worst" foods on Thanksgiving.. what foods you should avoid or which you should pick over others. The amount of calories certain ones contain. What you shouldn't eat.. stuffing, mashed potatoes, have a roll.. that you should pick just one rather than having a plate of all.

Uhm its THANKSGIVING. Who CARES unless you are that worried about it, then sure..cool whatever.

But holy cow. There is going to be tons of food... eat what you want. There is an over abundance (usually) for a reason. If you're trying to lose weight or are on a diet, well stick to it if you want. Your choice.

I love Thanksgiving. I get to stuff my face! I just got a bit irritated when the chica on the show said to just pick one. WHY!? Its there for a REASON. I wanted to throw a hard roll at her head

My little rant.. I love food <3

LOL Well, it is nice of them to throw that information out there for people who are watching their weight

Not that I have to worry, our Thanksgiving was over a month ago. And it was yummy and I did have pumpkin pie! LOL!

True but dont tell everyone to just pick one..

Still want to throw a hard roll at her head.. and tell her, NO!

I think they just needed another "topic" for a show. If it isn't a how and what to cook show, it's a don't eat because it's bad for you show! LOL

I guess this goes to show just how much most of us on this planet have. Some would be thankful to get a small plate of our leftovers. Hopefully we won't ever take that for granted.

Now, don't throw that hard roll at them - eat it!!!

I'll make sure it's a fake one ...one of those "display only" plastic ones

Uh Oh is this going to be like the snowball thread but with rolls? I really hate to see good carbs go to waste

Thanksgiving day is an EATIN' HOLIDAY!

I'll eat how I want, though I may pay for it later.

It's okay to indulge like that once a year, especially when you're healthy like me.

I don't care how many calories/carbs I'm consuming...
