Thanksgiving is truly just around the corner! It's next week, people! I hope you're planning something special. Fix at least a couple of your favorite dishes and enjoy them. But enjoy the people in your life even more ~ they're what counts.
Click this link to go to the Weight Watchers website for an interactive plate builder. You can see how much each of your favorites will cost you. What it won't let you do is have a second helping ~ once you've put a 1/4 cup of gravy on your plate, that's all you get. Now really, who can just eat a 1/4 cup of gravy?? By just mousing over the item you can see how many points it is and double or triple depending on your serving size.
If you eat every food item listed, your total points will be 40. Most people get 29 points per day with 49 additional allowance points per week. So you would be safe to do that.... as long as you only eat like that on Thanksgiving. If you plan on enjoying leftovers on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, you may need to think a little more clearly about it all!
I also suggest a Turkey trot! If you get in some exercise Thursday morning, you'll feel less guilt Thursday night!
