These go without saying but sometimes we all need a little reminder:

    Weight Watchers has 10 ideas for how to get through Thanksgiving and the holidays without eating too much and feeling rotten. Keep them in mind when you’re faced with the buffet: 
    Slow down. Eat slowly and savor every bite. 
    Plan to indulge. Savor the special dishes you love instead of popping cheddar cheese cubes into your mouth before the meal. 
    Don’t starve yourself beforehand. You’ll be more likely to gobble up everything. 
    Be creative. Practice saying “no.” 
    Drink moderately. Use lowor no-calorie beverages as mixers and alternate alcoholic beverages with lowcalorie drinks or water. 
    Bag it. Remember there is always tomorrow, but if you won’t be able to sleep knowing there’s half a pie in the kitchen, wrap portions for your guests to take home. 
    Lighten it up. Use light recipes for your favorite dishes. 
    Get moving. There are more ways to spend time with family on Thanksgiving than sitting around eating. 
    Be thankful for making good choices. Start the holidays mindful of moderation. 
    Control emotional eating.
