Thanksgiving week 2008

Ok, this is the week of the year when people tend to eat themselves sick. Ever wonder why you eat so much or you find yourself feeling stuffed before you know it?

Although some people never eat too much and never gain a pound at any other time of the year, come Thanksgiving and Christmas they eat everything in sight and greet the New Year with several extra pounds.  Seems to be a yearly ritual. Celebrations just have to include food....and lots of it. Families gather together for the holidays and may not get to see one another in between. Aunt Martha and  Aunt Sue always bring their special dish of which you just have to get a taste.
