My Wallet and My Weight - There's a Correlation

I have been below the poverty line for a few years, but this is the first time I've felt it as hunger. The last couple weeks I've been going to bed hungry and filling up on water throughout the day. It isn't bad so far, but if I lose another 5 pounds, I won't be eligible to donate plasma (not that that's an option right now anyway). On the plus side, I will be able to fit into some jeans I haven't been able to in a long time.
