I ended up leaving the chocolate chip bars I made every house I went to, so I wouldn't be tempted. The little bit I had left, I threw away. I can't have them in my house without eating all of them.
Morning (all day) sickness is the ONLY reason I didn't totally go overboard this weekend. And yet I still ate a TON of food for a nauseated pregnant lady.

Ugh, so much that I had a gallbladder attack last night.
DH and I usually eat Paleo and Thanksgiving with DH's family (we celebrate on Saturday each year) the food is anything but. We use it as an excuse to indulge.
We started out with cheddar and Brie with crackers, a fig and goat cheese appetizer, chips and dip, fruit with dip, crab dip, and fried pepperoni. Dinner included mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, turkey, stuffing, Brussels sprouts, bread, and cranberry jello mold. Then for dessert we had four pies (and I tried two of them).
This girl! We had bar food Wednesday night. On Thursday I snacked way too much on cheese, dips, etc before I even ate dinner. Friday I finished off the dips. Saturday, DH talked me into pizza. Today I had pizza for lunch and cheese sticks for dinner. I feel gross!
I ate too much of everything- especially cakes/cookies/pie/cupcakes. Not only did we have a big Thanksgiving dinner, but we had a party to celebrate my birthday on Friday, and DD's 1st birthday party yesterday. Also, DH baked chocolate chip cookies last week, so I was already pigging out before Thanksgiving. And, today is my actual birthday, so we went out for lunch. I feel gross.
Everything? I think the biggest was cheese popcorn. There is a brand my family loves that you can't buy near me, so we had several bowls between Friday/Saturday.
I don't think I've had a truly healthy or well portioned meal in days, though, I'm looking forward to working out and eating normally tomorrow!
I didn't go crazy on Thanksgiving, but yesterday was a bit of a crazy day with meal #2.
My biggest downfall this weekend was Candy Cane Joe Joe's and "Chicago mix" popcorn. H and I polished off a huge bag between us in only two days. So good!
OMG sooo much. Mainly desserts. My mom made my childhood favorite (pistachio pudding pie), so I had, like, 3 pieces of that. And my MIL made this amazing pumpkin pie, so I had 3-4 pieces of that over the course of 2 days at their house.
Really, I just ate and ate. And when I'd go from being uncomfortably full to feeling like I could eat again (but not actually hungry), I'd eat some more. Way too much good food in the house
My mom made me lactation cookies (basically oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with flax and brewer's yeast). I have eaten approximately eleventy billion of them. And a ton of peanut M&Ms. In addition to more traditional Thanksgiving foods.
Can I have the recipient for the lactation cookies?
We polished off a bag of peanut m & m's yesterday. The big bag size. Between H and I. In about 4 hours!

MIL made some killer stuffing. I ate that like crazy.
Besides Thanksgiving, DH and I are on our second bag of the Costco cream puffs. We bought them the Saturday before. There's only two of us in the house. They're about 50 calories a puff
I ran a mile this weekend. That equates to only 2 puffs.
