I've been dieting this past week in anticipation
of a BIG Thanksgiving Meal.
As of this morning I have lost 4 pounds. I will give you an honest report as to the damage tomorrow morning. I assure you my plate will not be as full as the guys plate above but I still expect the damage to be great.
I hope you and yours are having a wonderful Thanksgiving today.
Happy Thanksgiving, Bob - portion control is importance. In concept and in practice. Good luck.

This is probably the day that "my eyes were bigger than my plate" is most often stated Michael Jacobs 😲.
Good morning Bob. The years have made me an experienced man. One meal does not have to last all year. Leftovers are great and I don't need to stuff my plate. It will be full, rest assured, but not overflowing based on the experiences of past years. Enjoy the feast you will partake in later today.

I've learned as well Wayne Martin but I still may have to unbuckle my pants for a while.
Good Thursday morning, Bob. Best wishes to your and your family for a very happy Thanksgiving Day.
I do not know if I will be able to resist a second slice of pie at dinner today.

Funny you should mention that Roy Kelley as I just told Carol that the pie smells delicious!
I don't usually stuff my plate, but we'll see how the day goes!

Carol is a wonderful cook Kat Palmiotti and I think a small part of her success is she samples as she cooks... thus she is usually full before the meal is served.
Bob "RealMan" Timm I don't think I've ever dieted ahead of a holiday meal. Maybe that's because I don't ever overfill my plate... and if I overindulge, which would be on dessert, I can diet the days after.

Nina Hollander, Broker , I've had a couple of years where I dieted the entire months of November and December just to make sure I didn't have to buy larger pants. 😂
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy the Holiday with friends and family!

Friends? No buddy likes me Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty so thank God he gave me relatives who feel obligated to put up with me.
Actually I do have a lot of friends but my closest head South for the winter and so for now I'm surrounded by acquaintances.
Congratulations on the weight loss Bob "RealMan" Timm - I hope you can maintain at least half of that after today 😂 I've lost 5lbs since my Japan trip - I lost 2lbs in Japan, so I've trained my stomach on smaller portions in anticipation of Thanksgiving I suppose too 😂 Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours - It's A Good Life!

Thank you Thomas J. Nelson, REALTOR ® CRS,ABR,PSA,RCS-D, CFSP . I enjoyed your pictures from Japan and I appreciate your encouragement to keep up the weight loss. I always feel so much better about myself when I don't crowd my 32" waste line pants.
Good morning Bob,
Its hard not to enjoy every bite of Thanksgiving dinner! I'm sure any weight gain will be worth it and easily taken off! Happy Thanksgiving!

You are certainly the optimist Dorie Dillard Austin TX . At 71 I find it harder and harder to lose any new found weight BUT I will be determined to do so. 😊
Hi Bob,
I don't recommend weighing yourself tomorrow. Wait a couple of days. All the sodium-rich food will retain water in your system, so give it a couple of days to get back to normal.

Yup! I learned that trick a couple of years ago Carol Williams 😊
Hello Bob and Happy Thanksgiving to you 2 pies made yesterday but friends in another cabin will be doing the turkey, I will still make Pennsylvania Dutch Potatoes Filling and Oyster filling.

I'll skip the oyster filling Will Hamm but the potatoes sound good.
Hello Bob "RealMan" Timm I agree, I don't need 2nd plate if I had a big plate, I can have 2nd plate the next day. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

John Pusa we can certainly fill that 2nd plate tomorrow and maybe a third on Saturday.
Thanks for sharing this lighthearted take on holiday feasting, Bob "RealMan" Timm 🦃. The mix of dieting before the big meal and bracing for the “damage” after made me smile, and it’s a fun reminder that Thanksgiving is as much about joy and tradition as it is about the food. Grateful for the humor and the warm holiday wishes 🙂.
