"Eat drink and be merry - for tomorrow we... diet?"

Day one of diet today, went fine.
Missing cola and the associated caffine. Might have to invest in some diet drink to prop me up.

I'm always astonished at how much more aware of the smell of food I am when on a diet. On any given normal day I'd never smell crisps/sweets/bread/sandwiches, but when on a diet I can smell them from across the room. It's strange.

My big fear at present is gaming sessions. It was hard enough when I gave up take-out for lent and had to sullenly stuff myself with non take-out during games while everyone else had chinese and pizza, but I imagine game sessions where I can't have any sort of greasy nerd-food will be really hard.

I apologise now if I'm snappy at people while gaming :D

Does guarana have a similar effect on you as caffeine? There's a certain number of hippy juice-and-water drinks (Vitamin Water being my favourite) which come in varieties which include guarana - that might help with the cravings without loading up with more sugar.

If it helps, I've been pondering reducing the amount of take-outs while gaming (not entirely sure yet if I class Sainsbury's microwaveable lasagne as take-out or not). If I actually get off my arse and remember that before gaming sessions and prepare something else then it'll give you some company in DH atleast.

That'd be awesome dude :D

My diet is pretty hardcore healthy right now, but someone else not eating take-out would be awesome :)

Remind me before each game or I'll be rubbish and forget :)

Theres a guarana based coffee alternative called 'Wake-Cup' that you can get from health food/organic food shops. I use it as it doesn't screw up my stomach, you can also use honey as an slightly better alternative to sugar.

Gaming session snacks, try carot sticks and hummous it'd yummy. Dhaal, if you can stand the mess of making it would also be good for gaming food, stick it in tupperware and then microwave it at the game.

Oooh, thanks for the advice :D
I'm also considering making sushi for gaming, as it fills me up fast and I love it (also it's almost takeout...)
