As someone whose favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, I used to think that I should just eat whatever and however much I wanted on Thanksgiving Day, because “it’s only one day, right?”. But then I had a “heart to heart” with myself, which I do quite often actually, and asked, “is it really only one day?” I realized that I was often continuing to eat the cornbread dressing, yams, honey baked ham, sweet potato pie, and red velvet cake for days after Thanksgiving ended. So, I opted to try a different approach.
