Well I have almost finished up my first three weeks in my new job… and it only feels like three years… I think it’s safe to say that I am not one of those people who would choose to work if they didn’t have to. Obviously those people are insane.
Anyway, all this hard work has given me THE HUNGER. I just want to eat and eat and then eat some more. Why does thinking make me so hungry?
It’s not exactly unusual for me to turn to food when I am stressed (or happy or sad or excited or depressed or bored). So I am just trying to make good choices and not worry too much about weight loss. If I can get through my first few months in this job without gaining a stack of weight, I will call that a victory.
Exercise has not been a priority for me right now. I am working fairly long hours and it’s the dead of winter, so let’s face it, who can be arsed? I am walking about 25 minutes each way (a slow walk) to my tram stop to get to and from work, so at least I am getting some movement in most days.
I have to say that I am not exactly loving life right now, so I am just going to channel my inner Britney.
I feel better already!
you would be pretty if... 
I too turn to food for any reason, I reckon anyone with a ‘weight problem’ does that. I hope you can overcome the stresses of the new job Chick.

My “hunger” will always be there (despite that part of my stomach being cut away), though technically it’s “head hunger”. I eat purely because “it’s there”, “easy access to the pantry/fridge” and “boredom”. No wonder I’m not losing any weight. I try my hardest to eat properly but I have no willpower. Each week my PT asks me how I went food wise. He’d kick my arse if he could. I know I need to lose weight, I just can’t get motivated.
Hope things improve at work or something better comes along soon xo
