I'm trying to drop the baby weight on a pretty restrictive diet (in terms of calories). Basically, I'm eating about 1,300 calories a day, which isn't much compared to the previous 2,000+ I was eating most days.
I have found myself dealing with pinching hunger pains quite frequently, actually. Moreover, there are times when food is foremost on my mind, and I watch Hubby eat with previously unknown interest.
I've come to one conclusion: Hunger sucks.
Aside from increasing my desire to write a check to local food banks and other food-related charities, this weight loss diet of mine has also given me a new appreciation for food storage. It would be bad enough to be on a rationed diet myself due to a food shortage. It would be worse for my children to endure the same.
Hubby and I have been hemorrhaging money this spring and summer. We poured a concrete patio. Screened in our back porch. Bought patio furniture. Seeded the lawn and did some light landscaping. I have had no extra money at all to put into food storage or preps. Hopefully, that will change soon so I can funnel cash into a few canned goods.

That sounds awful! Don't fruit and vegetables have barely any calories? Can't you just eat platefuls of that?
