It's a bit hard with the food because I work in a small office, and the smell of glorious food in the pantry easily circulates and sometimes dampen my will. But I discovered that rotating meals makes it easier to bear. For example, the lunch I have here is half a can of solid tuna, some bits of cheese, two slices of bread (yeah, I know, I better reduce this to one and do away with the cheese), half a spoonful of low-fat mayo with a dollop of mustard, and some lettuce. The savory flavor of the tuna and the creamy mouthfeel of the mayo make me feel like I'm eating "real" food, thus, I don't feel deprived. I rotate this with egg salad, Spanish sardines, etc. I'm not really sure of the caloric content of this plate---could be a few thousand calories, for all I know, but eating fish certainly makes me feel better than eating meat. If only I could swear off meat. But I'm a "meatatarian" through and through.
So there. Wish me luck!
Tangent thought: On my way to work yesterday, I saw a truck of cows tethered through their nose so they won't move much during the trip. It horrified me and almost (emphasis on almost) made me decide to be a vegetarian. It's just that beef is so damned yummy and I really love leather bags and shoes, so swearing off beef, or any other meat, is quite an impossibility at the moment.
