Q: Rating your hunger level on a scale may help you determine what to do — have a snack or wait for your next planned meal.  Try rating your hunger from one (almost faint with hunger) to 10 (overly full, sick feeling).  If you're hunger level is around a three or four, it may be time to eat.  If your next planned meal isn't for another two hours or more, have a planned snack.  If your next planned meal is within the next hour or so, try to wait until your meal to eat. Ideally, do not let yourself be at either extreme — starving at a level one or so full you're at a level 10.  Fluctuate between a four and seven. It's normal and expected to be hungry prior to eating meals and even right before going to bed in the evenings. This is a simple test that can help you figure out if you're experiencing physical hunger or emotional/head hunger.  In general, emotional hunger is a craving or desire for a very specific group of foods (like carbs) or a specific food (like chocolate cake).  Physical hunger will be satisfied with a wide array of food options.  Ask yourself would you still want this snack if it were only an apple, raw carrots or a salad? If the answer is yes, go for that apple (or other fruit or vegetable) or other healthy, planned snacks to truly nourish that physical hunger. If the answer is no, then the hunger/craving you are experiencing is probably not a physical hunger in your stomach, but instead an emotional hunger. If you've determined you're experiencing emotional hunger, this might be a good time to take a walk or take a 10 minute break and reflect on what may be bothering you. "  Before eating any meal or snack, take a minute or two to do a self scan.  This may give you clues about your hunger level and desire to eat.  Think about:  Your level of hunger.  Are you starving?  Are you full?  Are you satisfied? Take note of any physical signs of hunger.  Your stomach may be growling, you might feel an "emptiness" in your stomach or you might feel hunger pangs with physical hunger. You may feel irritable or have a headache. If you feel like you  might be craving food without being physically hungry, assess your emotional status.  Are you bored?  Did you have a stressful day at work?  Are you tired or fatigued?  Many times these emotions cause us to feel "hungry" when in all reality, we are not.
A: Rate your hunger level on a scale from one to 10. Do the apple test. Take a "self scan.

Problem: Article: If your partner or friend has intermittent issues with phone checking, agree ahead of time not to use your phones for a lunch or date you’ve agreed to. This sets up clear expectations about what kind of time you want to have together. It’s important that you, too, adhere to any requests you make with regards to electronics, so your companion feels equally respected. To a friend, you might say, “I’ve really been looking forward to hearing about your trip. Can we put our phones away while we catch up? I’d love to see your photos once we’re finished with our lunch.” If your partner or friend has a consistent phone issue, casually keep track of their usage patterns over a given week. Note the time of day, day of the week, and the type of activity or communication that distracts your partner. Find a good time to let your companion know what you’ve observed. Suggest that you’d like to set some boundaries for phone use in your relationship because the current arrangement is not working for you.  You might say to a boyfriend, “I love hanging out with you, but your phone usage when we’re together has really become a problem for me. I’d love to continue seeing you, but only if we don’t use our phones when we’re on dates. If that’s not possible, I’ll have to move on.” To a friend, you might say, “I love running together, but it’s really distracting to my training when you’re texting on the phone. I’d love to continue our regimen, but only if we agree not to use our phones while we work out. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to train with Sue from now on.” If a good friend or spouse exhibits troubling symptoms with their phone use, it may be helpful to consult a professional therapist. Symptoms to look for include excessive phone use that has caused them to jeopardize their job or relationship; withdrawal symptoms when they cannot use their phone; or persistent failed attempts to use their cellphone less often. A therapist can help you sort out phone use in your relationship or provide support to your companion who is struggling with an addiction to their phone.
Summary: Agree to leave your phones out of reach for an activity or meal. Keep track of patterns to address recurrent issues. Get help if the issue is constant.

Q: It’s best to get your flag stand first so you can measure the material to fit. Cut a length of your main flag material to the width of the hanging bar of your flagpole. Most flag poles are around 12 inches (30.5 cm) wide on the horizontal pole from which the flag will hang. So cut your flag material to 12 inches (30.5 cm) width (or whatever the appropriate measurement it) or very slightly narrower.. Most flag poles are around 18 inches (45.7 cm) tall. Allow 4 inches (10.2 cm) length for the hanging flap, then cut your flag material an additional 18 inches (45.7 cm) long i.e. 22 inches (55.9 cm).  If you are growing tall plants underneath the flagpole, consider making the flag shorter in length so it will all be visible above the plants. The main thing is that the material should not touch the ground as it will get wet and muddy. You might like to double it the flag length to provide extra weight and make it hang better. Lay your flag material out on a flat surface. If you are doubling up the material, do that now and glue the two sides together along the left, right and bottom sides.  At the top of your flag, fold over a 4 inch (10.2 cm) piece of material. This will create the pocket that the flag rod will insert into in order to hang your flag.  Glue or stitch along the bottom horizontal side of this flap but do not glue the left and right sides as this is where the flap pole will insert into. Now that you have made the main part of your flag, you can do the creative design using the ideas in the section above.   Stitch, glue or paint your design onto the flag background you have created. A bright design can work very well, but remember some colors may fade over time.
A:
Measure your material against the flagpole. Decide what vertical length you want your flag to be. Stitch or glue the flag. Decorate your flag.
