Well, there was nothing in the vicinity to eat (unless you paid with cash, which I did not have, do people still carry cash?) and therefore I had nothing to eat all day. Oh, wait, I did have two pieces of gum and 5 mints but clearly that did not satiate my hunger!
Needless to say when I arrived home at 4 PM I was ravenous. At first I was cool and able to eat a pasta salad, yogurt and strawberries. However, that did not make up for all of my missed meals and snacks and I became hungrier and hungrier.
Throwing all good sense aside I ate everything in sight, including raspberry sorbet, a fiber bar, a dark chocolate bar with almonds, and a veggie burger on a sandwich round. Despite knowing what I should eat, because of my hunger I ate whatever was readily available without giving thought to nutrition, balance or anything.
I implore you - learn from my mistakes! I don't care how late you are running, grab a piece of fruit or something to hold you over. It is so easy to fall into old habits when your stomach growling is your guide.
And that, is my word to the wise!
