Pre-Turkey Day Rant

So it's like officially holiday time with Thanksgiving being only 2 days away, and I've got to say it makes me hate dieting. It has me all frazzled about dieting and holidays. I'm currently leaning towards "ha ha, screw it I'm going to eat whatever I want on holidays!" but there's that sick little voice inside of me saying "but you have a weigh in on Friday and how totally embarrassed would you be if you slowed your progress?!" So as you can see, I'm pretty torn. So far I have been sticking to my diet like what and I've lost 5 pounds, which has me pretty happy. I mean I have given my daughter cookies without so much as licking my fingers! I am really trying to actively lose weight, why should a holiday be any different than a crappy Monday? Oh yeah, because my family expects me to cook them a lovely Thanksgiving dinner and I would cry if I slaved over a stove for 4 hours to pick at the turkey breast and munch at some celery while watching my family devour the super awesome yummy food I made. And I can't change the menu at this point either. The menu was already posted to my family, everyone has something to bring, there's just no changing it. I don't know. I suppose I'll just diet up until it's time to eat Thanksgiving dinner and then on Friday start up with the diet like nothing ever happened. Then on Christmas I'll just plan something healthier I guess. But I'm still eating a flippin Christmas cookie.
That was my little rant, and I'm done. See you on Friday!
