Posting this cuz I know I'm not the only one...
I went "off" for a few days. My husband was very strict about "no diet for you" and I figured it was easier (and more enjoyable) to just go along.
I had everything - turkey, potatoes (just a tad of white, mostly sweet potatoes), green bean casserole, a little stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy (mmm), creamed onions (yep, made with a little flour and milk), and a tiny piece of pie. LOTS of turkey. I also had a bottle of champagne during the day, a breakfast bagel in the morning, and pastry on Friday morning. Went back to LC but then had more bad stuff Sat night (1/2 yam) and yesterday wasn't great - 1 slice pizza (didn't eat all the crust) and a few bites of a cinnabon.
NOW I'm back to LC, although with all the leftover turkey I'll probably have a couple drips of gravy - it's mostly fat, hardly any flour in it. And no one will eat it but me (the turkey). I'm throwing the rest of the stuff out. I have LC bread so I can have huge turkey & cheese sandwiches without feeling guilty.
Here's the thing: I'm not "thin", I'm not "fat", I'm not "at goal" (but I'm not far off), I weigh (or did, last week...) a couple pounds less than I did when I got pregnant 2 years ago - the same as I did when I got married, I can comfortably wear a size 12, can wear shorts in public without being embarrassed, and generally look pretty good.
I'm not considering the past four days as a setback or a threat to my success - past or future. It's back to LC because it is the best WOE for me. I don't have the metabolism to eat "whatever I want" - or I would. But given the options, I'd much rather eat meat and fats than salads and bread with no mayo or butter.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and kudos to all you that managed to stay on track!
