Do you feel this way after your Thanksgiving dinner? It's amazing how that piece of pecan pie or (my personal favorite) cornbread dressing can tempt us into overeating.
If you are feeling a little on the bloated side today don't feel that you've undone months of great eating habits, just follow a few simple guidelines to help you get back on track and go back to that healthy lifestyle tomorrow.
Here are a few little hints that help me when I feel I've eaten too much.
- Hydrate - Hydrate - Hydrate - While adding something else in your stomach seems crazy, water will help keep you flush out extra sodium from your system.
- Take a slow walk - Don't try to run or do any heavy exercise, but a slow and steady walk around the block will help keep you from feeling tired and falling asleep.
- Go Shopping - While the crowds of Black Friday might not seem like a joy right now, the festive spirit will help you to feel fresh. You might also find that perfect little black
dress to wear New Years Eve. (or for your wife to wear)
- Most importantly, remember that one large meal doesn't sabatoge a great eating plan that you've started, jump back on the healthy eating habit and stick to it! (Then that little black dress will look extra special!)

Um, I did not give you permission to use that picture of me for this post!
Actually in the past, I have overeaten for Thanksgiving, and would be hating myself.
Now, I drink water, eat a piece of fruit, and then eat a salad, before I eat my Thanksgiving meal.
Afterwards, I'm full, my food digests quickly, and I don't go to bed with this sense of self loathing.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
LOL Paul my hubby swears it's a picture of him!
I didn't get stuffed this year, but my poor oldest who lives on Ramen Noodle soup at uni did! He was feeling pretty unhappy last night!
