An open letter to those worried about gaining weight over the Thanksgiving holiday …
Stop. Just stop. Seriously. I mean what’s the big deal? Soooo you eat a little more than usual. Soooo you gain two pounds. Or three, or four. Big deal. It’s Thursday … the day will be over soon … you’ll go to bed, wake up and it will be Friday. Then, before you know it, it will be Sunday and those “couple” extra pounds and today’s chaos will be a thing of the past.
So, today, give thanks. Enjoy the fortunes you’ve been blessed with—because one, if you’re fortunate enough to be reading this then you’re fortunate enough to have either a computer of some sort or a mobile phone … and I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume you’re also fortunate enough to have more than enough to eat today. So, stop contemplating those extra pounds. Stop fretting over something so insignificant and relish your surroundings.
This Thanksgiving, be thankful God has blessed you with the wherewithal to gain a few pounds.
Me … I admit, I will hit the Peloton a little bit longer than usual this morning—paying those aforementioned few pounds a little forward, besides, it keeps me sane. Now go share this post with those you care about. Hell, share it on Facebook … maybe we’ll start a revolution 😉 Enjoy your day everyone!

DISCLAIMER: I’m a writer and an editor. And I try my best to make sure every post is articulate and free from errors. However, being that I edit my own work—and it’s next to impossible to properly edit your own work—I admit, occasionally there may be an error or two I miss. But doing so doesn’t make me an idiot so don’t be mean. Just smile, pat yourself on the back for finding an error and be glad you’re not the only one who makes mistakes sometimes … xoxox
