I feel that way about Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's like the two holidays where people gorge themselves on whatever they can shove in their mouths. It makes me want to run away and scream...so I'm definately feeling you here. xo

I'm just thankful there is a time that my family will come together and pretend to like each other (same goes for my in-laws). The food is just an added "perk"...Haha.

No, but really, I'm thankful for everything I have, but why does there have to be a huge feast everytime we're celebrating?! Ugh.

I'm thankful that we don't have Thanksgiving in the UK! One less festival to worry about. I so agree that it's all about the food now. Christmas Cake went on sale in SEPTEMBER here! Aaaagh!!

My "Thanksgiving" was last month. But we didn't have a feast...luckily for me. I wasn't thrilled though that there was a suggestion for the KFC. *rolls eyes* However, nobody in my family even knows I hate food...and I hate watching people eat..it's gross.

i so agree! every holiday/big occasion seems to be about stuffing oneself full of 'delicious treats'... count me out please! it's just like how the true meaning of xmas has been overshadowed by commercialisation. does anyone else find the concept of santa claus really creepy?!

Really! Santa should be on this site after all those cookies and milk. I think he must be a compulsive overeater.

I'm thankful for my family, for having a job I like, my therapist and my faith.
But I hate that every social activity and especially holidays are always about food. Whenever there's a meeting the first question is if there are snacks provided. Sad!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
