I did. I went to family's house. Even through I am die-hard about my diet, I am not going to ask my host to make an entire menu around my dietary needs. Beside Thanksgiving is about family and friends gathering together to enjoy each other's company and being grateful for the things we have.
I also live by the 80/20 rule. It doesn't mean to break down your day and eat non-primal 20% of the time. Sometimes it means being able to eat your Grandma's stuffing, or Uncle Joe's famous chocolate cake on a holiday. I try to be primal 100% of the time, but when life sends me to a pizza place for a celebratory after win feast, I can have some, without making myself nuts.
Today, I am back to being primal, happy that I spent some time with my cousins. Happy that I am not black Friday shopping. Happy that I am going to the national forest picking out our family Christmas tree. Not worried about the evil grains that lurked in the food I overate this one time a year.
