Okay, so I didn't really think about vegetarian vampires at all on Thanksgiving. Instead, I made a plan and stuck with it.
Before heading over to my parents' house on Thanksgiving I wrote down what I was going to eat and figured the net carbs too. I'm proud to say that I stuck with my plan. I didn't really mess up until we got home. Oh well. At least I avoided eating even more carbs at the big feed.

Not too shabby. I had a plan, too. I did fine all day until I was introduced to raspberry-jalepeno jam over cream cheese on crackers. Wow! The extra piece of pumpkin pie after the kids went to bed wasn't so great either, but all in all, I survived. I hope you're feeling better today. And tomorrow. :0)
It's hard to be good on a day so devoted to food. Don't worry--you did well, and tomorrow's another day.
Well done you!!! Don't worry about the messing up at home... you did great all day and stuck to your plan which is a great achievement!
