Q. I've been trying very hard to lose weight, so you better believe I'm dreading Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving can be treacherous even for the most determined dieter.
You'll undoubtedly feel unhappy if you deny yourself too much, so approach the meal as an exercise not in deprivation but in making smart choices instead. Concentrate on portion control and planning . Don't just sit down to dinner with some vague idea of tasting a little bit of everything. Be mindful of what you're eating. You'll eat more than you mean to because you'll be hungry.
