Here are some practical tips and tools to manage the abundance of food that is very typical for the holidays.
Don't skip meals just because there is a "special" meal.
Eat breakfast, lunch, and then treat the Thanksgiving meal as a dinner meal.
Use a 9 inch plate instead of the regular size dinner plate.
Keep healthy foods in sight.
Instead of whole piece of dessert, take 1/2 of serving. Share with someone.

Do something new and creative this year.
