Pre Thanksgiving meal with extended family

Well I have had my first Thanksgiving meal of the season and I didn't fare well. :( I did REALLY well all day, sticking to the plan. But, when I saw the dressing and sweet potato casserole, I caved. I did only get VERY small portions but I still caved. Then the desserts AAAACKKK!!! I had hoped I could do it and not eat too far off my diet. BUT, there was NOT much there to eat that wasn't OFF the diet. Anyway, I survived and came home and cheated MORE. It seems like when I have some sugar I want MORE! SO, now it is back to the basics. I need to keep myself focused. This will have to be somewhat of the way I eat for the rest of my life. There are SO many things I don't miss. But sometimes it is just hard to not want the "bad" stuff. I hope to be able to share POSITIVE notes soon! But, for now... it is what it is!
