[QUOTE="woollygal, post: 1896293, member: 489059"] Yes indeed. Main mealtimes are fine (apart from lunch). It’s more snacks. Drinking is issue because you can’t always get to toilet. Today I went to costa to use their loo and it’s out of order so I now have 2.5 hours till I can find another. Not great. In the car it’s mainly picky things I need. So if I fancy something I can just have a-quick snack then see how I feel and so on. Having a fridge in the car isn’t practical, o tend to use cool bags. I manage it’s just with diabetes in the mix I want to manage better. Managing life work balance isn’t possible. I need to work long hours, I’m self employed. So that’s not negotiable and again I need things that will work with my lifestyle not I have to change my lifestyle because quite frankly that can’t happen. I tend to have set eating times but that does mean I often eat when I don’t really need to simply because i know I won’t get a chance for another couple hours. And yes I can eat on lessons with learners but I’d rather not. Also if I’m doing the driving because I’m training instructors then it’s not really possible to eat. So I eat between lesson seven if not hungry. Being thirsty is possibly part of it but again can’t always drink if I can’t be sure to get to a toilet. I already have breaks between lessons but I tend to cover huge areas as I do learners and instructors. Plus the longer times between lessons the longer hours I have to work which then defeats the object. [/QUOTE]
