not like oh man i have the munchies hungry. but my stomach is growling and i'm shakey hungry. im going to give it 5 minutes then i'm heading to the vending machine. there is NO WAY i will make it until 3pm without eating something if i'm still this hungry.

If possible get those 100 calorie packets of light popcorn and keep some at work (assuming you have a microwave)... they get me through my slumps and are only 1 point! The volume fills up your tum and keeps you from feeling too hungry. Good luck! Pretzels were a good choice too!!!

Yo will have a lot more success if you're filling up on a nutritious lunch versus a too light lunch and then limited choices from a snack machine. I have learned this the hard way: Eating a filling but nutritious breakfast and lunch is definitely a key to success. Personally I could never eat just a salad for lunch unless it had chicken or salmon or canned tuna with it. Maybe the protein water should help with that but I don't know how well that works. Not sure that water with protein serves the same function in terms of feeling full that real protein would--at least while you're trying to get in a good pattern. Good job resisting the raisins.

Thanks for the suggestions :) The salad is normally okay for me because the walnuts fill me up pretty nicely...I'm just extra hungry today. The problem with keeping snacks at work is that I eat them as soon as I bring them in. I feel better after the pretzels, though. Thanks again for the suggestions! :)
