The Problem With Your ‘Last Meal’ Mentality

What are you eating for Thanksgiving? Do you have one dish that you look forward to all year? Is it...mom’s turkey? Is it...your aunt’s casserole? Is it...your grandma’s pumpkin pie?

Most people that suffer from this wake up the next day feeling disgusting, guilty, and possibly regretting it. Also it oftentimes leads to greater weight gain because it goes into the “F*** it” mentality (wanna know about that then click here) or reverses any progresses you may have had.
