Day 5

One problem I'm noticing is that, several times a day, I get an overwhelming desire to eat something. Not really hungry. Just get the munchies...usually for something crunchy, salty, and loaded with fat and empty calories.

It's probably boredom. I primarily use my brain at work (I know, I'm overpaid) and I think that the rest of my body gets bored and wants to do some stuff too. So it sends a signal up saying "hey, howzabout a snack?".

When this happens I've found that getting up and walking around tends to make the urge go away fairly quickly. I don't have that much will power but I can distract myself pretty easily.
