Hooray for surviving Thanksgiving without cheating on the diet! Medina and I came prepared and stayed strong all day. We stuffed ourselves with veggies, both raw and cooked. We made our own diet-friendly version of mashed potatoes and they were delicious. We stood in the middle of people stuffing their faces with many, many wonderful things. And we stayed strong. No cheating! It feels good to flex that kind of willpower muscle.
