I was dreading Thanksgiving, thinking I would be miserable not eating tons of every dish served, but it wasn't terrible at all! I ate very little (it was a little alarming to see how little food I had on my plate), but I didn't feel like I missed out on anything. I even ate a sliver of pie... and still lost weight. Now that I know it's possible, I'm feeling better about Christmas - I'll just make sure there are things I can eat, I'll remember that I don't need to eat much to feel fulfilled, and I'll take it easy on myself if I mess up.
