Okay, so everyone knows that Thanksgiving is centered around family, friends and most importantly, FOOD. Unfortunately, the feast of turkey, various forms of potatoes, and pie we all just enjoyed has a way of packing on some serious pounds. Here are the five stages and steps to acceptance you'll take post-Thanksgiving binge.

1. Break out the squats.

Get that booty back into gear, literally! Whip out some deep squats to work off the pumpkin pie.

2. Run it out.

There's nothing quite like a brisk jog to remind you that yes, you did just eat all that food and no, your respiratory system and thighs are not thanking you for it. Thankfully a lot of towns do "Turkey Trots" so you can make the fitness kickstart a family affair! (They'll never know you're actually just running from your problems).

3. Do a diet detox.

Well you just ate at least 7 servings of every single food group in a 4-hour period, so ditch the leftovers and munch on some kale! Just kidding, no leftovers should go untouched.

4. Pray to the food gods for help.

After the conventional methods haven't worked out, it might be worth a shot to ask those food gods to take off the turkey weight. You know they're fictional and can't hear you, but the desperation will cause you to beg anyways.

5. Forget about weight and just enjoy the leftovers and couch-potatoing.

Honestly, it's the holiday season so the last thing you should do is worry about an extra few pounds here and there! It's probably cold wherever you're at anyways, so the extra weight will act as nice insulation. Spend time with your family, gorge on the leftover potatoes and enjoy the rest of your holidays! Trust me, it'll be new years before you know it and you can worry about pointless resolutions then.
