After Thanksgiving

I heard that the average American eats over 5,000 calories at Thanksgiving dinner.  That's a full two days worth of calories and then some.  One pounds equals 3,500 calories, so the average individual gains about a pound.

Am I too incredibly smug if I say I did not eat 5,000 calories?  Or gain a pound?  This morning, I wrote down everything I ate yesterday.  I ate 2,256 calories at dinner.  Still more than a single day's allowance, but it was almost all I ate all day, which makes up for it.  And I weighed in Thanksgiving morning, and I weighed in this morning.  I actually lost weight.  Mostly water weight, it's true.  But still . . . .
