I finally sucked it up and did it.

Thanks for the eating tip, Road Raven. I can't eat because I teach, so my only lunch is at 12, and school is out at 3:45. I don't have a plan period in the afternoon, so I'll just plan on a bigger than normal lunch that day.

I think the bigger lunch is the way to go - just make sure it is "solid" in terms of carbs and fibre - not cakey things as they are "empty" and don't make me feel full of oomph.

If you eat about 12:30, thats pretty much ideal. I teachtoo - but adults at a teriary institution. So if teaching, I can have a top up around 2:30 - the classes are 3 hours long with a 20 minute break in the middle. And if not teaching that day - I can eat when I want to.
