Thanksgiving Without Guilt
Episode 111
Thursday, 27 November, 2025
What if Thanksgiving didn’t come with a side of guilt? We dive into a saner way to handle the holiday table, where a single boundary—don’t leave the table sick—does more for your well-being than any frantic plan to “burn off” your meal the next day. Along the way, we get delightfully opinionated about dry turkey, mid stuffing, and the eternal debate over mashed potatoes, while keeping the focus on what matters most: people, presence, and peace of mind.We unpack why the scale often jumps after big meals and why it’s not fat gain. Think sodium, water retention, extra food mass, and a temporary carb bump. Give it a few days of normal eating, sleep, and easy movement, and that number drifts back without punishment workouts or crash resets. We also call out the holiday procrastination spiral—Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then New Year’s—and show how to enjoy the day and still keep your momentum. A simple plate approach can help if you like structure, but conversation makes the best portion control: eat slower, ask questions, listen, and you’ll naturally hit “enough” without counting a single gram.Beyond tactics, we open up about the mindset shifts that make maintenance stick. The real work isn’t just swapping recipes; it’s addressing why food became a coping tool in the first place. That’s where community and coaching shine—helping you replace all-or-nothing thinking with flexible habits you can trust. Laugh with us through the hot takes, keep the plate you love, and leave the table feeling good, not guilty.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a calmer holiday game plan, and leave a quick review to help others find us.
