Today I read that if you start a new habit it takes 21 days before it becomes an official habit. This apparently is when your body accepts this new habit as a part of your day and stops thinking of it as a chore. So I can do anything for 21 days right? This gives me hope that in 8 days It will be second nature to eat the lunch I brought with me instead of staring lovingly (and drooling) at the McDonald's across the street. My cravings are decreasing, they are still there but they have gone from a screaming, headache causing monkey on my back to a slight tap on the shoulder.
I discovered that the level of disgusting at my job affects how hungry I am.... I will spare you the details but my first call today was a code brown and I didn't eat lunch until almost one. Yesterday I sat in a parking lot watching law and order and I was starving by 11:30.
I am also finding joy in small victories, such as walking away from a FREE donut or staying out of the EMS rooms at hospitals.

Hey Sweetie, you know my favorite saying?
This is not a sprint, it's a marathon!
Sounds like you are hanging in there, you still have your sense of humor and you are finding new ways to eat lean. That is progress. I am trying to come up with a couple of lean things for work too and that is hard for me, I feel your pain Sweetie, I feel your pain!
