Hi Theresa. I used to have one up on you: I worked in a hospital lab. Didn't even need a doctor's order - we'd get rather bored on the midnight shift. (Sadly, this boredom often led to trips to the vending maching.)

I think the key to successful LCing is finding an alternative to carb-binging as a coping mechanism (for those of us who are compulsive eaters.) Fortunately, it's been easy for me because I'm not remotely hungry for that stuff anymore. Now, I try to journal when I'm stressed instead of chowing down.
