Honestly you don't even have to starve because having one high carb/fat meal boosts your metabolism and basically just from one dinner you aren't going to gain anything but if you starve until then your body might get weird and decide to hold onto it.... Does that make sense? Just try as best you can to eat a little each day. Good luck.

Don't starve yourself until the dinner or you might spend Christmas in the hospital. It makes perfect sense what f1r3 f1y writes. Plus when you go, just have a little bit of everything or ask for a salad. I'm sure even with the menu already set, they won't mind making you a salad.

im really worried about thanksgiving at the moment...once thats done...then ill worry about xmas...but i know how u feel hun

That was my pattern exactly. Starve until the event and then pick around. That behavior did nothing for me but land me in treatment. I know how you feel. XO
