Saving every Penny but constantly hungry

When Hunger Follows You Everywhere 🍽️🧠

I can still remember how annoying I was to always be thinking about my next meal.
If I was eating lunch, I’d already be wondering what I’d eat for dinner.
And when dinner came, I’d be mentally planning breakfast.
It felt like I was constantly hungry. 😩

But the truth is, it wasn’t just physical hunger I was feeling.
It was something deeper—something I didn’t have the words for at the time.

I told myself I was just trying to save money. 💰
That if I kept my meals cheap and simple, I could finally get ahead in life.
Someday, all this sacrifice would pay off. Right?

Except... it didn’t.

Every job I took, I ended up leaving.
I couldn’t get along with coworkers.
I felt foggy, disconnected, unmotivated.

I am always forgetful.

No matter how much I budgeted, meal prepped, or cut back—my career wasn’t thriving.
I was surviving, but I wasn’t living.

And for the longest time, I couldn’t figure out why.

Until one quiet moment, I asked myself a question I hadn’t dared to before:

👉 Could my food choices be impacting my mind more than I realized?

It hit me like a slow, steady truth:
I wasn’t just feeding myself less—I was fueling myself less.
Less energy.
Less clarity.
Less confidence.

And without those things, how could I possibly show up fully in my work, in my relationships, in my life?

This isn’t about eating expensive, aesthetic meals every day.
This is about honoring your needs.
Because sometimes, a 2 pieces eggs & rice saves the day. 🍜
And sometimes, your body is asking for something more nourishing—so your brain can think clearly, your mood can stabilize, and your heart can focus on what really matters.

I used to see food as just a cost.
Now, I see it as part of my foundation. 🧱
The more stable my meals became, the more stable my thinking became. (not a carnivore but I was hooked on eating a lot of Beef & the benefits it gives your body 🍖🔥🥩🥓)

Slowly, things started to shift.

✨ I communicated better.
✨ I made decisions more clearly.
✨ I stopped spiraling after small setbacks.

So if you’re where I was—saving every peso, eating the bare minimum, and wondering why life still feels so heavy—:

🧡 It’s not just about the food. But the food matters more than we admit.

That is it for now, thanks for reading all the way.
