my sister visited and noted that I look skinnier. It's true that I've been more careful with food because I'll run out of my own on the 13th. There's also the fact that I haven't been exercising, so I'm probably losing muscle mass or muscle weight.

But once I apply for and get some official date of food benefits, I'll feel more confident in soliciting churches for food. The government might assign me a job in exchange for food benefits: that's why I'm more confident in getting food benefits rather than soliciting. The governments also seem to emphasize that they don't discriminate: I don't want to starve because local people are discriminant or exercise prejudice against me.
