Managed to get through my first night with raiding the vending machine. I found a good book and leaving my money seems to do the trick.

Night shift
Hi pdwalker,
I call that 'monkey-mind' that voice that says you want a choccy bar, or something from the chip shop, or whatever.
And part of teaching yourself new eating habits, like re-training yourself to be a non-smoker, is to tell monkey-mind to @$!% off and that you're running your life, not monkey-mind!
Remember, this new way of doing business will seem like old hat in a couple of months time.
Good luck.
Thanks, the real challenge is to night when it's quiet, I am working by myself and my brakes are a little longer. I might find some extras to do and stay out of the canteen.
Well done! Now you have managed to do it once you know you can do it again and keep those cravings at bay.
I have managed night two. Tonight is the last one, then the next challange is two rest days and then late shifts. I think the big problem will be boredom on my rest days, I will have to keep busy.
Am nightshift tonight as well i think i will try your idea of leaving my money at home as well
Finished all three nights with out slipping, I think I must be on the way to winning the fight with the vending machine demon. Did have 4 jafa cakes when I got in.
