Most of what sustains us is invisible - like love and oxygen. :-)
Some people lavishly spend upon exterior paint jobs but pay far too little attention to what's under the hood. :)

So, if you really insist on gorging yourself, be sure to have some digestive enzymes handy - far better than antacids.
Savoring, rather than inhaling your Thanksgiving meal will serve you well. Try it for a change of pace.
With your taste buds numbed you don't actually have the same level of satisfaction as with the first bite.
Your taste buds actually become fatigued when you roll food around in your mouth and numbed to the particular food...
After savoring a mouthful of pumpkin pie or other indulgences, you can sample a lot of other things without eating a large portion of each.
Just as an experiment this Thanksgiving, try becoming an expert at "tasting" dishes and desserts rather than eating large portions.

Often, being balanced is being static. Change means movement.
In order to change, a balanced system must be thrown into imbalance. Then energy moves and change can occur.
If you eat a balanced diet, your weight will stay the same - in balance.
Not making a choice is a choice in and of itself.
Choose wisely!
