Yup. I celebrated Thanksgiving with a bunch of large families and definitely was an active participant in the "Let's feed the single girl" marathon (yup...I'm the single girl). Somehow, I managed to come home with an entire loaf of homemade bread. And 2 pieces of pie.

But, there were victories, too. I didn't eat much dessert while I was there. And I stayed away from some things I should have.

But, I didn't get where I am from one meal a year (or even one whole loaf of homemade bread). It really is all about the lifestyle.
