I'm no drunk, but....when I'm working late (at home naturally) and night-time rolls around, work becomes much more enjoyable if I can have a glass of wine or a bottle of hard cider. New diet cuts these things out. I'm allowed to treat myself every once in awhile with them, but sitting at home working on a case does not count as treat time. So I willed myself not to open up a drink.
Earlier today as I was cleaning house, I found a chocolate and almond bar. Oh how much I wanted to crack that baby open and shove it in my mouth. But only yesterday someone asked me if I'd lost weight, so I reluctantly put it behind a bunch of health food in the pantry.
90% of the time this new diet is great. The food B has been cooking tastes great. I'm eating enough fiber and protein that I can eat less and yet be full. But when I get stressed out I want my comfort food. I want cheesy greasy Mexican. I want chocolate. I want my booze.
To quell my craving for a drink while I work I'm eating some fresh green beans and drinking some water with lime juice in it. Not quite the same, but worth it. If I can make it through this month of insanity (school work wise) I should be good to go until finals. Finals will be very hard as well, for the same reasons, but it's only a few short days instead of a month, so it should be doable.
And now back to work.
