I would love to be able to skip lunch on week days, and even though I get hungry, especially when coworkers warm up lunch, I don’t mind pushing through.
However, I sit in a lot of meetings… a lot of quiet meetings… with one person at a time talking… and one stomach providing very loud accompaniment. I try digging my arm into my belly, flexing my abs so hard I get a bonus workout, to no avail. I have trouble focusing on the meeting not because of the hunger but because of the embarrassment and worrying about the noise.
I know I can always eat lunch and skip dinner, but I like cooking dinner for my family and enjoying it with them instead of either hiding in my room or watching them eat.
I could also do 2 meals a day every day, but doing that has not been successful in losing the last 10 lbs I have. Plus, I get sleepy at work after I eat lunch, so I would rather fast during work hours.
Any advice on ways to make my stomach shut the f up? I drink copious amounts of coffee and tea, but it doesn’t help.
