When I first started college my family had the money to buy me food and we bought more than enough for me to eat on. I eventually had a meal plan where I could go and eat in the cafeteria and i never had to worry about missing a meal.
Recently, though, we are not as well of as we were and I am starting to pay for my own stuff (tuition, housing, etc.), since I am in grad school now. Well, although my parents buy me food and God always provides so that I have what I NEED. It doesn't seem to be what I want. I would like to eat healthier or be able to go eat fast food sometimes if I want to treat myself.
Well, I just don't have the money to do that. All food has to be stretched to last as long as it can. I am currently looking for a job but don't have one now.
My roommate always has plenty of food and is SO thin. She is a size 3!! She also gets to eat fast food alot and always seems to have the money to be able to go out and eat or bring back fast food. I am glad she has been so blessed, but sometimes when my stomach is growling I am so mad. I get mad that I have to sit and smell the food she is cooking or the fast food she has brought back. I end up wishing that I could eat fast food more often or at least have actual "meals" to eat more often. When I'm out of food and have to wait til my parents can come up here that's when it gets worse. I get to where I am so angry about not having enough food. I know I should NOT feel this way or be this way...there are plenty of people starving and definitely without as much food as I have.
How can I not get angry when she has all this food? What can I do to not feel like I NEED to have more food when really I probably have enough? I don't want my roommate to feel bad for having more food. Am I just being awful?
