My husband and I ate out at a Mexican restaurant for our lunch today. We ordered quite a lot of food. I can remember I ate too much quesadilla and the burritos that we ordered were big. After that I felt so full. It's almost the time for cooking dinner now. I'm still feeling full. My husband wanted some pasta with red sauce for his dinner. But I think I will just let him have dinner by himself. I'm stuffed. Have you ever skipped dinner after eating too much at lunch?

Yes, sometimes I'm still full at dinner time and let my husband eat dinner on his own

Hopefully your husband doesn't mind if he eats dinner by himself.

Do you mean like snacking? When I skipped my dinner, sometimes I would just have a glass of water.

O sure, I have. That has not happened often, but I definitely remember over doing it a few times and not eating until the next morning.

Yeah, and also putting in more food to our full tummy can effect our sleep at night, too.

My husband and I don't have set meal times. We eat when we're hungry. The only real meal I can honestly say we have, is 'breakfast' as it's the first thing we eat after sleeping.

That's great when we are still be able to listen to our body. We eat only when we are hungry. That's what most people are lacking nowadays, that they keep eating while their stomach is still full.

We don't want to push our stomach to do more work to digest more food. Sometimes it needs a break.

Eating at 3 a.m is a very very late supper. I guess we can call it a very very early breakfast. . And you did skipped your dinner.

It's rare. But it does happen. Dinner becomes a small snack at that point. I actually hate when that happens.
