Thanksgiving Gain?

[Michelle]

I put on about 4 lbs from Thanksgiving - and the leftovers!

I think most of it is water weight, since I went completely bonkers on carbs - bread, pie, pudding, oh my! I'm back on my regular routine so we'll see how fast it drops!

Did you indulge on Thanksgiving? Any damage done?

So far I'm down 3.4 lbs, since starting to eat right again on Monday. So clearly most of the weight was water weight. That's reason enough to get off white carbs!

Down 5lbs in 7 days from the Thanksgiving bloat. It can be done! I shouldn't have eaten so much though!

The thing is, once I had a "cheat" day on Thanksgiving, I just kept going for 3 more days on leftovers. If I'd just done one day it would've been no big deal.

Lesson learned here - having a cheat day is great. Making it a 4 ay binge isn't.

I also felt like crap the whole time.
