Hunger Attack ... Binge Eating and a Rip off....

It is 4:30 PM , you are at work. There is a feeble grumbling noise. Very feeble that you don't notice. The clock is ticking and you are working your way through. It is 6 PM now. You are almost done for the day. You realise that you hear another grumble and for this time it is more powerful. You become aware - Your stomach is grumbling with hunger ! All you can think of now is FOOD. Just about anything.

Iam positive that every human being goes through this Snack Attack every single day. It happens to me . I come back home frantically searching for some food. Tear apart the refrigerator. Iam usually good when it comes to eating consciously . But this is the time my brain just doesn't listen to me. It becomes a slave to the tummy.

Today when I was going through this hunger battle - I ended up going to a Mexican joint . Ordered a burrito in a bowl (lots of beans , veggies and low on fat) . I ate like a glutton. When my stomach calmed down and my brain got back to normalcy . It all came back to me. I paid $ 7.99 for a bowl of not so fresh veggies , old beans that is soaked in preservatives and rice which God knows when it was cooked ! Was this all necessary ? How do I handle this ?

I should do something to attack the Snack attack ...!

Hey! This happens to me too....The best thing to do it, always keep an apple with u..or at home...as and when u are really hungry, may be u sud start biting into an apple! which is healthy and good for health. If u dont like apple, then may be some other fruit.In case you feel like having anything crispy crispy, then the best thing is a plate of bhel puri without the sev ....just mix up some murmure(pori),and freshly cut veges..literally any veggie...for the sweet chutney, u can always make some and store it for a few months..top it up with a spoon of this chutney..yummmy...its equivalent to salad.but its also crispy and tasty..
