Canadian Thanksgiving is around the corner. You would think this wouldn’t effect me, living in America and all, but I’m Canadian (Go team!) and all my friends are Canadian, so we get two opportunities to celebrate the harvest! The reason I mention this is because big dinners tend to stress me out. I don’t want to over-eat. In fact, if I’m going to cheat, I really would rather have some pizza and ice cream instead of a big turkey dinner. So – this is why I’m stressed. And it’s silly, because turkey is a healthy food! Veggies are healthy. There will be stuff I can eat without feeling like I cheated. And of course, there will be stuff that is not so good for me, like sweet potatoes with candied marshmallows, green bean casserole with fried onions and of course,  dessert! So I’m making a deal with myself to try and not eat food just cause it’s there. If I stick with a small serving of the healthier stuff at dinner, and have just a sliver of dessert, I’m going for pizza this week! Why eat food that I don’t really want, when I know I can have my treat later in the week!
