Embarassing but true - I easily tire of eating. It's rare for me to finish a sandwich, since I usually hit a point at which the pleasure of eating the sandwich no longer outweighs the bother of eating it. I like the different tastes and textures of foods. But something has to be really good for me to eat a lot of it. And I usually have to be at least mildly hungry to bother with the process of picking up a utensil (or two) and moving food to my mouth. Partway through a meal, it's not extraordinary for me to just stop. Not because I'm full, but because I'm just done with the process of eating.
This is not very convenient while pregnant. I need to get my act together before I either 1) hurl from the nausea because I waited too long between meals or 2) get carted away by Child Services.
until i got to the pregnancy part, i could have sworn this was anis writing this entry.

I haven't figured out if our attitude toward food is the result of nature or nurture. I kind of lean toward the former, since he's been like that his whole life and I've been like that only the past 10 years or so, but not as a deliberate thing.
