Re: Nine hours without food :SIGH:

my first day too. I'm not hungry, but I feel like eating out of habit and/or stress. Went so far as to look through the menu, but didn't order! I'm so tired though, hopefully I can leave the office soon and get some fresh air.

I work in a small office stocked with everything from soda to cookies, chips, popcorn, twizzlers, reces PB cups, snickers, starbursts, beer, AND they buy our lunches everyday. I usually eat at least a couple of pieces of candy, but today - NOTHING!!! I'm reading about Sugar addiction and withdrawal symptoms as motivation to stay away from the candy jars.

I was never easily tempted by sweets until about a year ago when I started a new job and ate to squash stress. A year later (and ten pounds heavier) I have a new job, but my habit of eating when I'm frustrated/unhappy/stressed/depressed/scared is still around. I was a strict Vegan for a year, and during that time I had no cravings whatsoever for chocolate, cheese, sugar, or bread so I know I can get through this.

Keep it up, only nine more days to go!!!!
