It's still not easy because the situation will never be free of unnecessary comments and/or an overload of food, but I'm trying. :) Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!

You can't win either way, so it does seem like the best thing for now is to have Thanksgiving your own way, taking your time to eat the food that you truly want, and saving the rest for later. I am impressed that you are able to make peace with a less-than-perfect solution to this holiday dilemma, and with you a happy Thanksgiving! Charlynn:
