So, I made it through day 1.
I was only at work for about 5 hours and the stress level was low - meaning that i could focus on what i needed to do as opposed to trying to accomplish 3 or 4 other jobs.
I seem to get the most cravings when I am the most stressed which is normal. If i have to do my job and the job of my assistant (just d/t staffing), I seem to get overwhelmed with thinking about deadlines and how to fit everything into 8 hours and how i would not have taken a promotion if I knew it was going to be like this and yadayadayaday....... I usually end up working through lunch and staying late. By 5 o'clock I feel beaten, used and abused and am hitting up the vending machine for my "just rewards". Just thinking about it brings that icky feeling in the chest, the empty feeling in the gut and the feeling of something in the throat that I just can't swallow.
Today I will only be there for about 3 hours. Overtime is a big no-no.
No overtime, but no time to accomplish all that needs to be done either. In an attempt to stay employed, I have just done 2 hours of work on my home computer. Maybe I will submit this time for payment, maybe I will just have to eat it. We will see.

Not that I am ungrateful. I am very grateful for employment in the challenging job market.
I am merely trying to get a handle on what triggers my craving for comfort foods. And job stress is a big trigger. As I type all of this, the sensations in my body have intensified.
So, anyway, day 2 is off and running had a nice breakfast consisting of fruit and plain yogurt.
There is time for me to enjoy the day before I have to meet my responsibilities. So, I shall.

P.s. I don't know why the font changed nor can I figure how to change it back to the nice font of the first paragraphs. If anyone has any insight on this, let me know? Please?
