Know When to Stop Eating During Thanksgiving...

With pies all around, steaming stuffing and dressing beckoning you and lots of deep fried turkey threatening to send you to the drug store for some antacid, here are some tips to keep you from OVER EATING:


1. You know you have overeaten if you have to change out of your jeans and into sweat pants.

2. You know you have overeaten if you have to unbuckle your belt before starting on your second piece of pie.

3. You know you have overeaten if you don't even have room for a cup of water or coffee.

4.  You know you have overeaten when your plate is a miniature template of the entire dinner table.

5.  And seriously you know you have overeaten when you are no longer hungry. 

You know how awful and miserable it feels to be that full, and if you don't know how it feels,  it's because you have forgotten about it or tend to ignore it.  You have overeaten on so many occasions that your hunger set point is no longer sensitive to environmental cues. 

Leave the table, go for a walk and the pie will still be there when you get back.
