How to Not Blow It on Thanksgiving

Nov 09, 2026

How does Thanksgiving usually go for you? Do you end up stuffed? Regretful? Eating pie at the same time that you are saying, “Oh, I really shouldn’t... Well, okay. Just a small piece.”

We’ve all been there. And honestly, why wouldn’t we be? Everywhere you look, overeating is treated like the goal. Recipe emails promise you won’t be able to stop eating. Thanksgiving comes with a dress code of stretchy pants. Feeling stuffed is how we tell the cook we loved it.

What if you could get up from the table feeling good in your body, and still enjoy every single bite you chose?

In this episode, I talk about why that overfull feeling can hit so much harder when you’ve struggled with food, and why one dinner so often turns into six weeks of “I’ll start over in January.” Then I share a few simple things you can do on the day itself, the one question I want you to ask before you eat the pecan pie, and where to put your attention instead of the food.

This episode is for you if:

  • You’ve ever planned to “save up” all day for Thanksgiving dinner
  • You feel the guilt start before the dishes are even done
  • You already suspect the holidays will be a write-off this year

Thanksgiving is two and a half weeks away. That’s plenty of time to decide how you want this one to go.
