Geez, it's only a week.  Just make the decision to do it and you can
do it.  If you're bored, so what?  Find something else to do that
isn't eating.  The world is big and exciting.

One useful technique for helping yourself to do something which you
think will be difficult is to tell people you're going to do it.

             research and study, the best advice I can give to
               people is to be a little kinder to each other.
