what is the 5x5 rule??? 

i put about 5 bites of 5 different foods on my plate and that is all that i eat...i am usually full and not stuffed and last year doing that i did not gain for thanksgiving or christmas... 

LOL! 

wow, that's an idea! I wish I could do that, but then I would have to leave the room after I finish my plate lol! 

5 bites? Are they small bites? Is a bite a spoonful? lol I don't think I could do that. I love Thanksgiving dinner! Liked your post too, very good information. 

technically, french fries are a vegetable. :) But not the best for your health! Round up those good-for-you veggies and don't let them get away next time! 

The five by five rule is an effective strategy. I have used that strategy before. I have also heard it called the 3 X 3 Rule and the 4 X 4 rule! Whatever works!  

LOL Veggies!! My 5x5 would be huge serving spoon bites!! Good for you though!!  

good job to have a plan!! 

Potatoes are a veggie...right? LOL. It grows in the ground! It's a veggie! Good luck practicing your 5X5 rule. Gotta remember that. 

I love your 5x5 rule. Will do that tomorrow for sure. I always look at the food to see what there is and the food I can have anytime of the year, I pass up. What is special and not made except for holidays I have, if I like it. You have a great plan going into it. Thanks for the idea. :-) 

Your post is so funny. Lala is right: Potaotes are veggies :) Happy Thanksgivng!! 

Oh yes, I will try the 5X5 rule this year.  

French fries is a wedgible! I knows it is! Have a great holiday! 

Happy Thanksgiving veggies! Thank you for being you. :-)
