Tara, I had this problem when I thought Otis had liver problems and he was on special food. I had always free fed them. I tried to by putting a gate up and putting one in the kitchen with his food and one in the family room with his food in the mornings and the evenings. I hate to say it but they never got the hang of eating at specific times. I tried to put a few yummy bits of cheese on their food so they would eat it, but they just ate the cheese and left the food. I think if you are more diligent than I was,(and I wasn't very diligent) you could make it work. Good luck. Hope Boston's doing better.
