Sleeping in too late to be able to make scrambled eggs was not how I planned on starting my SNAP Challenge week, but that's exactly what happened.
I had work from 9-5 today, so I brought my breakfast (yogurt + banana) and lunch (PBJ + carrots) with me. I ate my breakfast and my desk and went as long as I could before eating lunch. I caved by noon and nearly swallowed my lunch whole. Normally I would spend my days at work with coffee and snacks from the office, little things to give me an energy boost and fend off hunger between meals. I did not realize how difficult it would be to work without the occasional snack. To add to this, I had to refrain from eating leftovers from a lunch meeting today--something I would normally devour.
After a mildly hungry day at work I returned home to a dinner of ramen noodles and frozen string beans. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't exactly very filling either. My main concern is rationing my food properly--I don't want to eat too much today and not have enough tomorrow. Overall, today has been an exercise in self-restraint.
