I think it's good that you are going to go do something else......I go to the dunes every year, and have done this for about 9 years.....no more eating issues for Thanksgiving. We have a small potluck at the most, and it's never a formal sit-down thing anymore. It used to really be hard for me, too......when I was in the full throes of exercise bulemia. Spearfishing sounds fun.....and fish is good for you!
Thanks for the positive words, and sharing your previous issues. I need to not feel like such a loser because I can't have a traditional thanksgiving in my current state. I go through this every year and it would be awesome to have some kind of alternate tradition I could put in place like yours that I would actually look forward to instead of just sitting around stressing.
