Hunger -

“Eat what you love while losing weight with WeightWatchers!” I would recommend the “empty fridge diet” – cheaper, and 100% effective. For more nutrition tips, follow me on Instagram: @lucie_without_money. As my late mom used to say, it’s better to laugh about it than to cry.

Tonight, I gave her half of my plate while the little one, giggling, stuffed green beans up his nose. “We don’t play with food Mathéo”. Today, even more than yesterday, and definitely less than tomorrow.

With rising energy prices, gas costs, and inflation, plus my ex Thomas still nowhere to be found, my bookstore paycheck just isn’t enough anymore. I can’t be the only one…

In Luxembourg, poverty hits single-parent households the hardest – with 44% affected by poverty.
