Yes, I'd like to eat. I'm in my fifth week, and I would never cheat, and I'm still doing well, and I'm committed to this, but I would like to eat something. I would say that my prevailing feeling right now is just confusion. I am surrounded by food, feeding my family, and sometimes I really enjoy just being around the food, and other times, like right the hell now, I would sell you something if you gave me a tomato and I also had permission to eat it. Something like my cat, even. I'm sure you'd treat her well.
Hopefully tomorrow's weigh-in is going to be a good one, but today I'm feeling kinda miserable. I'm kinda gassy (Yes, I'm taking the fiber) and that's fun for everyone of course, but I'm also feeling bored and am having to aggressively remind myself that I am far from my goal, and need to focus on that and not on my feeling deprived. I'm trying... I really am.

I think you hit on it -- boredom -- and that may be part of the reason why you are having a craving. I ate when I was bored all the time. Don't know if you drink coffee or tea but that might help if the water and gum aren't doing the trick. I've found that these things always pass in time. Glad you are writing about this. It helps to get it out on paper. Hugs.
