baltomom86 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi Guys, I am having a really big problem with one particular part of W30. Before I launch into it, I'll just say that I have completed a W30 before, with other W7s, 9s, 21s, etc. OK, this is my dilema: Every Friday night I have a Shabbat diner with my family . The timing of this meal depends on sundown, so for week dinner is probably around 8 o'clock or so. This is a really important and sacred tradition that I cannot give up. My problem is that even when I make all compliant food, I still totally overeat and it messes me up entirely! This is because I am used to eating dinner around 530 or 6 during the week. The timing of this meal is non-negotiable. So...I could try to eat a snack earlier? Or try to eat a meal earlier, and only eat a little bit during Sabbath dinner? Any and all advice is appreciated! I really want to crush this W30 but I keep getting hung up on this one night! Ah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen_Suep Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'd eat a mini meal around 4 or 5 and follow the template. That way you're still observing the Shabbat but you don't over indulge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltomom86 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 OK... so maybe like a chicken breast, tahini (sp?) sauce, and 2 handfuls of random veggies? Also, could I eat this before I even get hungry? I am thiking if I wait til 5 I my appetite might really perk up and it will be hard to limit myself to a mini-meal. But if I eat it at 4:30, before I really get hungry, it might stave off my appetite until dinner later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltomom86 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Lol - maybe this sounds like more than a mini-meal! Haha - I am BFing btw so I eat tons of food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen_Suep Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 You can totally make it a full meal too. BFing moms need about four template meals anyway. I totally get you on eating a ton of food. I do too (also BFing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 What does the rest of your day look like @baltomom86? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltomom86 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 I eat a template meal based for breakfast and lunch. those meals are usually between 8-9 am and noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Then yes, if you're BFing I'd have a 3rd meal around 4pm so you can enjoy your meal @ 8pm without over-eating. 8am - 12mid day - 4pm - 8pm sounds like a good enough schedule to me.
