Let’s show that turkey whose boss people!

That turkey is coming in 3 weeks my buddies and he’s bringing all his friends. His date is usually that yummy gravy but I don’t care for her too much. I’ll trip her as she walks through the door and then look away real fast like it wasn’t me. :cool: And then Mr. Turkey always shows up with Ms. Mash Potatoe’s who always wears to much butter. Who does she think she is? A supermodel? :roll: And then Mr. Green Beans always tags along with them but he’s a big fake because sometimes he shows up with some butter too. Go figure something that looks so healthy can be so sneaky. Then the weirdo one of the group is the rolls that show up to the dinner last. It rarely wears the wheat bread look. Mostly the white bread look. The kind that likes to stick around your waist a little too long. I may have to walk by the oven when no one is looking and turn that sucker up and give them a good burning. Whooops! Did I do that? My bad. :lol:

Notice how I said the rolls were the last one at the table and not the pies? That’s because the pies show up early and they like to be the center of attention. More so than the turkey. People love talking about them too. “Ooooh, look at that pie! I can’t wait to get a piece of that!” And if that’s not enough to be center of attention, they want to add whip cream to themelves to just show off. Trying to look sexy I think. Whatever!

Let’s get prepared people and show that dinner whose boss. If you are in a slump, let’s reflect on a new plan so we are very prepared for turkey day. I’m a Monday girl (like to start my diet on a Monday) so I’m going full force that day. No lie. And if you are doing all the right things, then keep it up! Don’t be crazy and stop. Uh, kinda like I did. Ha ha! Well, have a good one Buddies.

P.S. Let’s look better than ever that day too. Let’s show ourselves and our family what we are made of. Let’s look hotter than the turkey!

    Yeah, hotter than the turkey. That sounds good to me. And shame on those pies adding that whipped cream trying to look all sexy. Darn their little butts!

    Your turkey loving friend,
    Debbie

    Uhhhh, who brought the salad with extra veggies to Thanksgiving??? Oh yeah, WE DID! What a great way to take up a bunch of space on that Thanksgiving plate! I’m signing up for the leafy salad and I’m going to make one that rocks!

    LMAO…
    I’m glad not to be living under the thanksgiving spell. That is one tradition we don’t celebrate. I have time until Christmas…

    I will build on personal Halloween success of no candy in my body. There will be no pies in my body on Thanksgiving either. Only fruit salad. Or some quilt-free sweets from Whole Foods. Here, I have a plan now I am proud of.

    However, the pride comes before the fall :evil: … and I still can fall… so buddies, be here to pick me up :grin: .

    Too funny! Fortunately, Thankgiving dinner has never been a big deal for me. And now with my husband and kids eating turkey, I kinda get grossed out.

    Honey, I remade my Thanksgiving dinner 25 years ago and still cook the same old menu, but with the fat as low as possible. Not hard and my sons are so happy to see a big Thanksgiving Dinner, they never say a word. I make stuffing with lots of celery, onion, fat free broth. Mash the potatoes with chicken broth instead of butter and cream. have a pumpkin bake instead of pie (no crust) and F.F. whipped cream. They take the leftovers home with them and I am home free. You crack me up, Girl. 7# be gone from our WW. Love, Marge

  19. Cheryl625 @ November 3rd, 2007

    That is great! I never thought of it that way. What a great spin you put on it. I am going to encourage my buddies to come read this. Everything you wrote is so true! I am gearing up for this day already. I am decided what I will sacrifice my points on and what I won’t. Have a great day!

  20. arewethereyet @ November 3rd, 2007

    We are so much hotter than that turkey. I’m with ya. I’ve already started thinking about how to tackle TDay… turkey, no gravy, baked sweet potato, steamed veggies. And I’ll eat protein/veggie rich meal in the morning before so I’m not starving and tempted. That said, I love pie and I’m having a small piece of it dammit. :) Ellen

  21. kamaperry @ November 3rd, 2007

    Yes, we are much hotter than that turkey! Think I will print this and post it where Ican see it! I will think of this when I’m dreading Thanksgiving! Thanks!

    Loved your post! I have not been too worried about Thanksgiving day, but I loooove leftover turkey sandwiches. Then there is the day after Thanksgiving when we spend the whole day shopping, including 3 restaurant meals…but I am with you, we will make it through!

  24. sangeletic @ November 6th, 2007

    I know we can out shine that bird1 We will be the center of attention this year and not as the one who is STILL at the table! i usually start first and pass around the dishes, then eat and eat more sweet rolls, well not this year, I will have my steam bag of veggies, my rottisseerie turkey, and a spoon of other veggies/fixings…I am also gonna make sure to bring some fruit for desert! whip cream ah yes, and on the fruit, but ff! hey i am interested in hearing of the sweet potatoe bake with no crust though! sounds yummy! I will dress up and out shine the bird! and so can you!

  25. Pookiebear @ November 9th, 2007

    :lol: That is too funny sister! Never really looked at it like that but I will this year! Home-made food is sooo yummy and hard to resist! The only difference is that this year I have a support system. Thanks everyone! Let’s show that turkey who the boss really is! Good luck to all who happen to need it(like myself)and go get ‘em to those who know they have nothing to worry about!
