Q: did anyone else go through this? my doctor had me eat my last meal at 5pm. this has worked well for me. i had specific times and foods to eat. i told my husband i didn't want to go to his family functions because i wasn't going to be eating and he said, "well, can't you just break it for this one time?" but, we had so many things to go to and it costs too much money to waste. when i met him, i didn't eat after 5pm and didn't go on dinner dates. then we got married and i put on alot of weight. i just feel really down and bummed because last night ONCE AGAIN, i had to deal with the inquisitions of why i wasn't eating.
A: Why not just say something like, "my doctor has me on a program that requires my last meal of the day to be eaten by 5PM" ? End of story. If they ask any other questions just say "I'd really prefer not to discuss it". Your husband has to be more supportive as well and not ask you to break it "just this once". Good luck and don't let anyone side line you!!
