Kate File Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I am planning my whole 30 for after my family ski trip, but I just realized we have our school fund raising ball on day 20. It includes a 3 course dinner which of course will be non compliant. Do I just do the best I can? Just eat the meat and veggies. No dessert of course. No alcohol. I don't want to start again and lose 20 days, and I don't want to delay my start for another 20 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arabella Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Try to make contact with the caterers prior to the event. I went to a ball when I first went gluten-free and the caterers were very accommodating even to my partner who was observing lent and didn't eat meat on a Friday but didn't want the veg option. Make sure you eat before you go or keep snacks in your purse just in case. You will have a lovely time regardless. I love to dress up for formal events. I tend to eat differently when I am dressed up anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Roy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Kate, where do you live? I'm in New Hampshire and it was funny to read that your family is going on a ski trip in July! And that you are back in school! Yuck! I actually brought some easy to pack protein with me to an event (not as fancy as a school ball, mind you), just in case. I put it in an insulated lunch box and had it just in case I needed it. I like the idea about contacting the catering company ahead of time though-that is a super idea! With a few weddings in our future, I'll keep that in mind! Good luck-and enjoy your ski trip! Hopefully, you all have some snow wherever you are! We had a lousy, almost snowless winter!
