To Eat or Not To Eat?

[ZoeyB97 10]

Just curious, how many wait until after your meeting to eat dinner?

Some people in my group eat before, but 2 of my close friends & I wait until after our meeting & weigh in.

It's a 8:00 right now, & I am starving. I'm eating while on this site. I usually won't eat after 4:00 on weigh in days. My meeting is at 6:00. Would it make a lot of difference if I eat a lite meal before, & save my usual dessert until I get home???

It is not good to be starving. I usually wait to eat till after WI but my WI starts at 5 pm and so I am out of there by 6 pm. I have been known to take a snack and eat it after I WI to hold me over. But I don't think it matters. If you eat before WI each time it will even out. I would not have a dinner high in sodium. The first time you might weigh more but it will even out. If you are really hungry then I would eat a light meal. I know if my meeting was any later I would have to have a eat before WI.

My meeting is at 7 PM. I have dinner before the meeting. I never do anything different that day because I feel that is the best indicator of how I am doing.

Your weight loss will be the same regardless of when you eat or what clothes you are wearing. If you lost 3 pounds it will show on the scale either this week or next week.

 

I eat breakfast before I go to wi and I lose weight every week. There is a woman who comes to meetings no matter the weather in the shortest lightest cotton sun dress I have ever seen, she wears no socks ever and removes her earrings, rings, watch and eyeglasses. She does this I assume because it makes her feel she will show the biggest loss possible this way.

 

You can weigh in either way but the loss will remain the same.
