45 Painfully Relatable Memes To Laugh At While Social Distancing This Thanksgiving

2020 has been throwing us one curveball after another, but there still are things to be thankful for. Netflix gave us The Queen's Gambit, the economy hasn't collapsed, a few Covid vaccines are on the horizon. Not to mention, your bedroom doesn't have to be your workspace or classroom for a few days, and you get to stuff yourself with turkey and mashed potatoes until your heart's content.

To keep your spirits high and give you something to do while you lay in bed getting through the food coma, Bored Panda has compiled a list of hilariously relatable memes that perfectly sum up this year's Thanksgiving. Hope you enjoy them as much as your grandma's pie!

If you are someone who tries to watch what they eat, holidays can be difficult. Especially Thanksgiving. Being surrounded by so much delicious food that often emerges in our lives only once a year sure is hard to say no to. Not to mention the stress that often accompanies a busy holiday gathering..

If you fear you might overeat, use a smaller plate. Turns out, perception can be a big factor in losing the brakes. A study by Cornell University claimed that halving plate size leads to a 30% reduction in the amount of food consumed on average.

The Food and Brand Lab of Cornell University suggest you eat healthy foods on larger plates to encourage consumption, while eating less healthy foods on smaller plates to trick yourself into feeling satisfied with less.

However, it's worth noting that another study suggests that these numbers might not be true and further research on the relationship between plate size and consumption is needed.

Also, consider drinking a full glass of water before a meal. It helps to provide a sense of fullness, which lessens the likelihood of overeating. Just don't substitute it with soda, alcohol or other calorie-dense drinks.

Another mistake we often do is we skip breakfast, anticipating a bigger dinner, thinking we will more than make up for the calories as the day goes by. According to Rush University Medical Center, disadvantages of skipping breakfast include: higher chance of being overweight, higher chance of consuming unhealthy snacks, and lesser chance of meeting consumption recommendations for fruits and vegetables.

But even if all of this fails and you still lose it at the table, try to get rid of any guilt when leaving it. Nothing bad will happen if you've allowed yourself a second serving of turkey or a bigger slice of pumpkin pie. Dietician and upwave review board member Shoshana Pritzker, RD, CDN, reminded people that, "One meal isn't going to make you fat, or get diabetes or high blood pressure or any of those other illnesses or ailments that come from overeating all the time." It takes many months to put on the pounds and many months to drop them, so one afternoon of indulgence isn't going to cause you to buy bigger clothes tomorrow.

Get sturdy Tupperware with rubber seals. Leave a set in your car. Bring them into restaurants and you can just pack your leftovers. Normalize this behavior. Never lend them out to repeat offenders who don’t return your set. My mom is on my list.

How are you spending your Thanksgiving this year?

Tabitha L 3 years ago

To those who celebrate Thanksgiving today, I hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday. To those who celebrated a month ago, Happy Belated Thanksgiving. And to everyone else, I hope your Thursday was made a bit brighter by laughing at memes by us weirdos who do celebrate Thanksgiving.

You are too sweet. It really is hard to avoid family you love, but it’s easier to sleep at night without a guilty conscience.

Why the hell is everything about politics in the USA? Where I live in the UK, people rarely talk about politics, certainly not to people they barely know. I don't know the political views of any of my family, friends, neighbours or colleagues, and it is usually considered rude and impolite to ask. I don't even know what political party my partner voted for in the last elections and I really couldn't care less.

It used to be this way until Obama was elected. For some reason Republians heads exploded when that happened and they spent 4 years vowing revenge to never let it happen again. Then in 2012 it happened again and more heads exploded, conspiracy theroys got even weirder. In 2016 they doubled down on fear mongering and somehow elected Trump who is a blatant rasict. Since Trump won, all the racist felt it was ok to be more racist and public about it. Democrates didn't back down and stood up to it for 4 long years. Now in 2020 some Republians saw the error of electing an idiot who has pissed away his daddy's fortune and either didn't vote or voted for Joe. Additionally, Mitch McConnel has spent the past decade convincing all Republicans to vote on party lines so nothing ever gets done. This is why after 7 months we still don't have a second stimulus check, the amount of homeless and poverty stricken has increased by nearly 20% and foreclosure are expected to explode when restrictions end...

Brainwashing by media, is my guess. Signed, American citizen. Who, btw, watches BBC news. And, for the record, my UK in-laws are raging a-holes who rant politics constantly since Brexit.

Ugh, imma just vent for a sec. so, currently my great grandma is dying at 99 years old (paternal side) and my moms side of the family is hosting a huge thanksgiving celebration (that side of the family is huge) and along with that part of my maternal side supports Trump! My family of course did not go to the thanksgiving celebration. We instead had a traditional dinner with no visitors. I’m all done venting now.

Yet another liberal who is intolerant in the name of tolerance. Way to go. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
