Ohh thanks for the pork recipe! I still get very nervous about cooking a roast or loin of pork. Once you dry it out, it’s so gross! I’m glad yours came out ok.

A tip for holiday eating that I find useful is to grab a plate. There are usually so many plates of snacks and one-bites, appetzers, etc. I can easily fill myself up just grabbing and popping into my mouth. If I grab a plate and fill it, I’m much more aware of how much I’ve eaten, b/c you lose track if you just pop it into your mouth. Even things like the veggie tray can turn bad b/c you could easily eat tons more dip than you realize!

Thanks for sharing the tips and the article! That is the bummerly part of having type 2 diabetes, I can’t save up calories on one big feast! Oh well…

The article had a lot of the tips I used last year. In situations like these, I use the “plate method” (1/4 meat, 1/4 starch, 1/2 non-starchy veggies) for setting up my plate. I usually bring a veggie tray if I know there isn’t going to be one, so that I’ll have some veggies from which to choose. I also get in some exercise; usually playing with the kids rather than sitting around and talking. Oh, and I share a dessert with my husband; a couple of bites and a cup of coffee does the trick. (Probably because it’s pumpkin pie, not chocolate gelato! I used to prefer hosting (because we were sure to get leftovers), but now I like it when we’re invited elsewhere. (Besides, if I want more, I can always hit up the Whole Foods buffet at lunchtime that week, they usually have Thanksgiving dinner dishes.)
