Re: eating dinner late..........

I would suggest eating a healthy snack before dinner to keep your metabolism running..

Piece of Fruit or some Almonds...something....or else your Met will slow up.. that's probably whats happening too..

Also....when you make dinner now...try not eating all of the starch...maybe half...b/c it's so late it will just sit and not burn off......

Or you can always have an athletic night a passion to burn the cals and start your met again!!!

Re: eating dinner late..........

i tried so hard to wait for DH but then i gained TEN POUNDS in three months plus i was having trouble sleeping

what i do now is make dinner for both of us but eat mine at 6 and then clean up everything i can

when DH comes home I serve him his meal and then i make myself a small plate so he doesnt have to eat alone. for example i wont have salad with my dinner so i will eat a small salad with him or if i make biscuits i wait until he comes home to make them and i will eat one or two *someone on the NW board gave me this tip!

this way he doesnt have to eat alone AND i dont feel terrible every night!

It is also great bc i get most of the clean up out of the way

FH and I have that probelm because I get home later than her does and he's an early eater. Usually he eats on his own and I just eat after him once I'm home. When we can we eat together.

Re: eating dinner late..........

Its hard, I know the feeling. FH doesn't get home until 2am some nights, but I don't wait up for him. My suggestion is if you make dinner, eat when you have to eat and then when he gets home sit with him, but don't eat with him. I don't eat anything after 7, so if FH gets home after that, I'll sit with him, but won't eat....
