Sometimes I wonder how I could possibly be fat. Every time I sit down w/a plate of food, half of it goes to Rob, and now a fourth of it goes to the dog. I used to avoid sharing food with Rob on occasion by eating things he didn't like (crab legs, artichokes, chorizo, octopus/squid, oatmeal...), but that list is getting shorter & shorter. He even eats some sushi now, and seafood. The dog will eat anything (except Cheetohs and bread), so it doesn't work with her. I am getting to reclaim some of my veggies because most of the green stuff makes Chelsie puke, but she still gets things like corn on the cob, carrots, squash and yams. It would seem easy to just not feed the dog table scraps, but we're a pack, we don't 'own' the dog. She eats what and when we eat, and she is healthy and happy. She's got no food aggression and she knows the schedule, so it works well for everyone.

Except me, the constantly underfed and hungry :P The only time I get a full meal is for lunch at work. This past week, being home... I'm looking forward to going to work tomorrow so I can get a decent meal for a change.
