Hi, Leslie. I totally endorse the idea of starting a Journal here. You'll get lots of support as you journey on.

It's possible you are hurting yourself by keeping on with this--not to mention the possible redirection of your stress to patient care. Surely there are other opportunities for experienced nurses in other areas? If it's a matter of money--how much money is your mental and physical health worth??

Sweets do not solve issues.
Write this in big letters on a card and post it in your kitchen, break room, or wherever. I know that daily sweets like donuts, cookies, pastries, etc. are inevitable in work places. Makes it very tough to pass them up. Maybe one of the hardest hurdles of establishing your LC lifestyle.

And by the way, don't bother with "allowed dessert" for now. Break that sweet habit completely!

We're on your side. Keep trying.
