The diet wavers quite a bit in these circumstances, and the Paraliminal recording is actually making a positive difference. You're asked to recall a recent event that caused your eating behavior to be less than optimum, and then imagine a different outcome. Each time I listen to it, I have a new one, and I seem to have solved each of them in succession.

The current one is letting myself get too hungry because of the work schedule, then being ravenous and overeating at dinner. It's actually a positive "problem" because it means I have no reserves--that I'm eating just enough--so that if dinner is an hour late, I'm starving.

I have to remind myself what huge progress and change that represents.

And yes, the train trip is going to be such a wonderful break!
