Went TOO Long

I got caught up in a meeting that went longer than expected and caused me to go 6 HOURS without eatting. By the time I was able to get to food I was shaking because I was so hungry. I went about 400 calories over my goal for the day and shot my exercise because of it.

Ugh ---- I am so frustrated right now and still want to eat more. I chugged a glass of green tea then took a shower thinking that would help as the food settled, but it didin't.

    Just learn from it. What can you do for next time? It already happened, so relax and just watch as normal.

    Been there! I even carry protein bars with me in my briefcase, but it's hard to whip out a bar and munch away in the middle of meeting. And water isn't helping after a few hours!

    What I find works when you are starving (which doesn't mean I always do it!), is to eat something higher on the glycemic index like a spoonful of peanut butter or pineapple, or something with really deep, good fats like a handful of nuts. It fills the tummy and calms down the brainwaves until you can fix your meal. Or, eat that protein bar :tongue:

    When I am really starving and I am at my calorie max I find brushing me teeth really helps. I know sounds weird but it works.

    I get really cranky when work messes up my eating schedule. I just get cranky in general when I'm hungry, when its work that't the cause it's even worse :)

    quit your job.
    HA! wouldn't that be wonderful! sometimes i wish i could do that! :)

    i run into the same problem a lot doing what i do. is there a way to take a cliff bar or a protein or juice shake into your meetings? i learned my lesson after one too many meetings or sessions going long and my group is fairly casual so i can take food in.

    i hope you're feeling better today. :flowerforyou:
