after you finish eating, brush your teeth or chew some minty gum, it helps me :)

1. Don't starve yourself leading up to the meal. Just treat it as a regular meal.
2. Spend time talking with family and friends instead of eating through the entire thing since Thanksgiving dinner tends to last for hours.
3. Load up on veggies!
4. Drink lots of water while you eat.
5. See if your family will let you use smaller plates to set the table. (Also: old china tends to be smaller than plates now!)
6. Take a break before getting more of anything (except veggies unless they're cooked in a way that adds tons of calories).
