The after effects if a Thanksgiving Dinner got the best of me. I went to my sister for dinner just like I planned, visited, ate and returned home. I was miserable all night long, people I ate too much and then brought some home with me knowing I was stuffed like a Thanksgiving Turkey I couldn't resist that piece of Carmel Cake I brought home. I got an upset stomach I had to take an alka seltzer, I felt just terrible, I tried to do a little MyLotting I couldn't do it. I ended up going to bed, thinking I was going to get up early and do a little more MyLotting so that I could reach my payout for this month. That didn't happen I stayed in the bed until 9:30ish am.. Now I feel a lots better. I am not going to do that any more, (eat too much). So how did your day go? Where your eyes bigger than your stomach?

I did pretty good. I didn't over stuff myself but I did get full. I got a smaller plate for myself and filled it up and eat almost all of it. All I eat last night was two small pieces of cold turkey and then later a slice of pie. I did eat a rolaid because the onion and dressing was talking back to me but that went away. I do look forward to warming up and eating some dressing later today though.

I am sorry you ended up with a upset stomach. I did that last Thanksgiving when I overdid it. I actually did a lot better this year by eating early that day before heading to my grandma's house. I ate what my stomach could take and the only time I got a second serving of anything was my grandma's vanilla wafer pudding.

i think its a prerequisite of Thanksgiving to eat too much lol! i tell myself "you know thats too much" and yet i still eat everything i dump on my plate..then continue to nibble as the family talks and puts things away. i didnt get an upset stomach so much as a "dont jostle me im full to my earlobes" kind of stomach! i STILL felt full when i got up the next morning!

i cant overeat. plus, i am a vegetarian. so, i am picky with what i eat anyway. i ate same as usual. i dont feel the need to over stuff myself, even in thanksgiving. it is just another day. i ate the same amount. if i over stuff myself, i usually drink tea or herb tea or green tea afterwards. and it usually helps.

I really ate very little when it was time to sit down for the meal.. I had cooked all day and with a taste here and a taste there, by the time I finished cooking, I was already full.. I did however overdo it on the left overs.. That is what makes it Thanksgiving, the fact that we are all as stuffed as the bird.. I do have a few really good recipes that are so rich and decadent that I only make them during the holidays and having them only a couple of times a year, it is easy to overdo it on some of the food.. I am full now and ready for another nap..

I went to my sister's and her daughter cooked the dinner. I knew she was cooking a lot, so I didn't eat anything before dinner. Even so, I was still stuffed by the time dinner was over.

Hi chevee! I really wasn't that hungry yesterday. For some reason when I am cooking a large meal like that all day long I don't seem to be able to eat that much. I tried to eat, but I could only eat a little bit. I was full pretty quickly. My boyfriend and my girlfriend ate two plate fulls. I just wasn't that hungry but was stuffed with the little that I did eat. We had so much food left over. My girlfriend came back again tonight for some more food and my boyfriend had some leftovers too. Again, I tried to eat some more, but I still wasn't really able to eat that much. I don't know what's wrong with me. I love turkey and all the stuff that I made. I just couldn't eat that much of it. It tasted great, I just wasn't in the mood. I think because I haven't really been eating much lately so I just couldn't eat alot. So there still is so much left. I guess will just keep eating it again tomorrow. I think I'm ready for turkey sandwiches this time.
