I managed to survive the Thanksgiving holiday without gaining any weight! Yippie! Ok, so weight-loss would have been better but, I will take a no-gain holiday any day.
My Thanksgiving day was interesting this year. I spent most of the day by myself. I put up my Christmas tree for my daughter. I cleaned my house and did some minor shopping. For my dinner I had:
Turkey (sliced)
Homemade dressing (bread crumbs, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and sausage) - boy was this good!
Corn sauted in butter.
That’s it. My huge feast! I had left-over dressing for about 3 days but, it was good each time. Do I feel I missed anything this year? Yes.
I missed:
The smells of Thanksgiving. (You know all the various foods cooking at the same time)
The sounds of Thanksgiving. (People talking, laughing, watching football.)
The ‘feeling’ of Thanksgiving. (Surrounded by people who all share a common love for one-another)
What I didn’t miss:
I didn’t miss eating so much I got sick.
I didn’t miss people fighting over silly things.
I didn’t miss the meaning of the day. (I am very Thankful for my life and my friends and family)
I didn’t miss that feeling of being alone in a crowded room.
So, just like that pardoned turkey the President sends home every year…I am just another ‘turkey’ who made it see the day after thanksgiving; thankful, well fed, and looking forward to seeing all my friends in 2009.

A good friend of mine and co-worker (Joanna Fee) gives a great talk about how we should eat right and focus on healthy eating 80% of the time. That means occassionally we get to endulge ourselves. I like this concept as I think it fits with most peoples lifestyle. I mean every meal can’t be granola! With that in mind I am suggesting that my friends pick a day (each week) and call that day their 20% day. Of course with the holidays just around the bend now would be a great time to declare Thursday your 20% day. Eat enjoy, for Friday is ‘black Friday’ time to shop..you will need all the energy you can to fight the crowds.
Thanks Joanna for a great conept. Thank you (Thanksgiving) to all my friends. Happy Holidays!

After much dragging of feet and excuses thrown down, the site has undergone a face-lift. Special thanks to the SlamDot hosting and design team for making this possible. www.bomccoy.com is quickly to become a launching site for my new book entitled “You’re worth more than your weight in gold”. A self published book based on my own struggles with obesity, lessons learned, and humerous stops along the journey of morbid obesity. This blog will serve as a pseudo log of my progress. As of today I have 3500 words down on paper. My expected completetion date December 2008. Keep your fingers crossed. Keep checking back. Now that the site has an ‘edit’ feature built in I hope to keep this site much more fresh than in days past!
Bo.
