Ohhhhhh, yesss I've gained weight.
I put it to the fact that when I lived on my own, I only ate when I got hungry. NOT a good prelude to the habits now, which is to eat meals. I'm sometimes eating when I'm not even remotely hungry. And there's this 'clean your plate' rule here that has me feeling I have to eat it all. It's not that I'm being expected to eat, nor to eat it all...it's me going through this dilemma of not wanting to hurt feelings, or not wanting to make people feel I'm trying to exclude myself. To add to it, I am surrounded by people who have incredible metabolisms.
