Thanksgiving is a personal favorite of mine. In honor of this, I wrote down a few rules to abide by on Thanksgiving day.
1) Forget your diet. You can lose weight the rest of the year, eat what you want on Thanksgiving day.
2) Don’t eat alone. Go to Denny’s and sit at the counter as a last resort.
3) Help with the dishes. Everyone will be happier.
4) The Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade is the same every year. Skip it. Talk to people instead.
5) Don’t call Thanksgiving “Turkey day”. It’s an overused media cliche.
Have a rule you feel should be added to this list? Let me know.

I disagree with #1: Have a little of everything, but only a little. Honor your body and don't eat until you're uncomfortable.
That said, I would include football in #4. All of the people who I know who check out on Thanksgiving do it in front of the ol' boob tube, watching football.

That's funny about the Turkey Day part. I always called it that, but this is my first vegetarian Thanksgiving, so the turkey thing isn't even a part of my Thanksgiving anymore. I noticed this year that I stopped everytime I almost said "Turkey Day," because it's not that for me. Good tips!
