What am I waiting for?
When I used to drink, I would put off eating until I finished off all the alcohol first. So whatever my lovely wife made me would have to wait. "you guys eat first" I would say
The habit of eating later became such the norm, that even now, when Dinner is made, I sometimes think to myself I'll wait and eat later .. then I realise I'm not drinking, so what am I waiting for ... its odd to explain but I'm getting used to the fact that when food is ready, I can eat .... I don't need to throw down a pile of empty calories before sitting down to a meal.

Old habits are hard to break. I did the same thing...i'd busy myself with cooking and drinking, sometimes I'd completely skip eating entirely and just drink more.
Maybe try sitting down at the table and talking first? Or having a salad or something as an early course together?

I can empathize. Like it used to be an accomplishment for me to avoid food. I had my priority set on drinking, and the food would interfere with that. I've been actually eating breakfast lately.....that's new!

lol I was the same way. I would not eat till i was adequatly drunk first and even then i'd eat lightly unless i was too drunk then i might eat more to taper the buzz some but then promptly be back to drinking. Drinking had a priority. I had another friend who basicly would just drink his meals rather then even bother with food. I never was like that I did still eat but it was just not priority.
It was strange trying to get used to that new routine of going ahead and simply eating a meal.
