How Do You Get Rid Of The Munchies On A Small Fixed Income?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ada, OK

It seems like I can't get rid of the munchies. Usually I buy one 2 pound bag of baby carrots and go through them in a couple of days. I can only get groceries at the first of the month or I would buy them more often. I know my munchies stem from wanting the crunch but once the carrots are gone I feel like I'm doomed.
