This was the first Thanksgiving in memory that I didn ' t gorge myself I went over my calorie limit , but only by about 120 calories . I ' m only 5 ' 4 , so that ' ll add up and I doubt I ' ll wake up tomorrow to a smaller number on the scale , but I ' m proud of myself for not succumbing to my usual garbagedisposal style of eating since I started counting , I realize I was routinely eating 35000 calories , and could push past that on special occasions ! !!. It . actually feels really weird to end a holiday without abdominal pain and near immobility how messed up is that ? but I ate a nice plate of home cooked food and feel satisfied and full . Hopefully this will become my new normal ! Edit punctuation <| sep |> I do love me some Steve Martin . Definitely gonna pick this one up . I ' ll look into Shopgirl too . Thanks for the suggestions .
