Day 8 - Belated update (punishment day 3)

Alive

So it has been a few days since my last update and I thought it might be worth answering the burning questions I'm sure all of you* have -

NO - I haven't spent the last 2 days locked inside a "Krispy Kremes" stuffing every available orifice and wallowing on a cloud of powdered sugar; for the record, however, this is how I'd like to exit life.

NO - I haven't had any chocolate

YES - I am still on track with my punishment, even though last night my brain convinced me that "Biscuits and tea" was an acceptable meal. Luckily, I was far too lazy to get up and make it.

The last two days have been fairly easy going as far as avoiding temptation, thanks to having more days that weren't part of my ordinary routine but i'm coming across an unhappy side effect - I'm eating more.

As I said in my last blog post the "feeling" of withdrawal in this case (and perhaps all cases) is a sense of extreme hunger and it is an extremely annoying, constant, persevering feeling that is next to impossible to ignore. So over the last few days I have found myself eating a bigger meal than I normally would have to overpower this sense of hunger pre-emptively, which isn't great but at the moment it is somewhat unavoidable whilst still retaining some semblance of sanity (or hope of resisting sweets!)

Hopefully this is just a temporary thing while my body gets over itself and stops shitting the bed every time it doesn't get what it wants, and things will be back to "normal" sooner rather than later.

Hopefully.
