Why is it so hard to eat? The weekend was bad because I had a social dinner all three nights. So I went over my calorie target by a bit each night, but not nearly as much as I would have without the diet. And I’m learning. But then Monday came around, and I’m back to struggling to get enough. Dinner ends up being a big, calorie catch-up meal after eating almost nothing during the day.
This is ridiculous.
So I’m trying to focus on eating smaller, regular meals throughout the day again. It isn’t that hard, I just have to pay enough attention to the clock to notice when mealtimes come and go.
On the faroese shawl, I’ve finished wrapping up the pattern diamonds, and I’m just doing a few more rows of seed stitch before binding off.
I’m so excited. I want to get back to my Sea Silk Stole, the Uptown Boot Socks, and I need to get started on those fingerless gloves for Mary.

It’s funny…at social gatherings I am more likely *not* to eat because I’m more worried about what’s in stuff and don’t want to eat it (since I’m avoiding wheat and dairy among other things) But dinner is still our biggest meal and I sometimes have to add a protein shake to get in calories as well. It’s freakin’ weird….I never thought in all my life that I wasn’t eating enough. LOL. I guess I always have…and then ate too much of the wrong foods (all the time!) So the past few months have been a total learning experiance for me. I’m loving the shawl and can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s done!

You sound like my husband. It is amazing how he managed to get almost 100 pounds overweight when he forgets to eat during the day. Whenever he tries a new eating plan, the toughest thing for him is actually eating all the food. Almost every day he brings home his lunch and eats it for dinner because he wasn’t hungry at lunchtime.
