Dieting

Now that I have finished off all the sweets and crisps I brought back with me from the UK, I can finally start to make some kind of effort on improving my diet.  This is going to take baby steps.  The first things I need to do are cut out snacking and drink less soda.  Work is a major hindrance in this regard because we get free soft drinks and we have a frequently well-stocked snack area.  But I must stay strong.  This is just the first step on what could be a long and uncomfortable journey - sugar is my nicotine, so it is going to be tough to change long bad habits and satiate my sweet tooth.  But I will try.  Slowly.  I can't go cold turkey.
