Today, a coworker complimented me on losing weight, and said that she wished she could drop a few pounds too. I was too embarrassed to tell her that the only reason I've lost weight is because I haven't been able to afford to eat. FML

Uhh well, at least you're getting something positive out of it! No, not eating isn't healthy at all and I do hope you'll be able to buy food soon, if not, stay over at friends or family.

They probably don't and even if they do there are plenty of ways that this could happen. People who have been around longer get paid more, OP's coworker could live with roommates or her parents, could be married or have some other way of splitting costs or OP could have had an emergency she had to take care of.

Try a food stamp program. Most people are embarrassed to be on the program, but even $40 a month for food is better than nothing.

In this day and age, not having a phone means you won't be able to hold a job.

Things will get better for you. Years ago, I couldn't afford to buy food either, but now I can. Stay positive.

I can't afford to eat but once a day and then it just a small meal. Wish I could have your metabolism mine seems to have quit. I guess congrats for the weight loss sorry to hear you can't afford to eat.
