Over thanksgiving break I noticed how different my eating habits were away at school compared to the way I eat at home. This immediately triggered my mind back to the beginning of the semester of psychology class where we talked about food cues. The main reason, I believe, that I constantly eat when I am away at college opposed to at home, is because I have a pre-purchased meal plan. I feel that I have to use my meal swipe because I am paying for it. Furthermore, our meal swipes at Wagner have a specific time which they must be used. For example, the lunch swipe runs from 11:01am-4:29pm. Even if I am not hungry I have to eat during this time period because that is when the swipe runs. At home I am able to eat whenever I want, therefore I do not have to eat even when I am not hungry.
