[quote=Anonymous]I was hangry as a kid and am hangry as an adult.

I can handle most stressors well: I can manage traffic, financial decisions, and medical issues without complaint. My job involves working with kids with learning and behavioral challenges, and I handle that fine--enjoy it even. But if you catch me when I am really hungry, I can be a mess. It's like an out-of-body experience where I can see myself being a miserable pain, but I feel powerless to stop my own behavior until I get some carbs and protein on board. It can cause me to have migraines and physical exhaustion. I'm not looking to stir the pot with loved ones; truly everything and anything feels irritating when hanger strikes.

Start carrying snacks with protein and carbs, like protein bars, cheese and nuts, apples and nut butter. Teach your kid about watching his appetite and speaking up early when he feels hungry. Schedule your activities so that you are not far from food. This isn't a behavioral problem. Some people are just far more sensitive to changes in blood sugar. [/quote]
