I totally understand about dinner being a shared occasion. But a big plate of food doesn’t necessarily have to mean a big plate o’ calories. It helps if, like me, you love veg and salads!

Paola: Dinner: at home. As for the drinks, I *never* drink soda. Ever. Yesterday was an anomaly… so I’m not worried about drinking too many calories. In fact, most of the time, I drink nothing but water. For awhile there, I was going for months without drinking a single calorie…. that said, I’ve recently fallen prey to Starbucks more often than I would like, but seriously, I’m pretty resolved at the moment to cut that out completely.

I think one of my main issues is that I feel compelled to eat more at dinner. Dinner is a far more social situation for me than lunch or other meals… it’s not about eating what my husband does, it’s just about eating and talking and eating and, you know. I’ve got to break that habit, I know… I just haven’t gotten there.

As for your diet. I don’t think I could eat nearly as much beetroot as you do, dear.

Was you dinner at home or out at a restaurant?

Okay, when you’re at work, have you considered sticking to diet sodas? And when you’re at home, how about Simon’s idea of diluted (pure) fruit juices?
