Test of Strength

Ok, I am sitting here thinking about a small bag of mixed nuts. I thought that by this time I would stop thinking about food but obviously NOT. For me to reach my original goal of 5 days I have a mere 28 hours, 8 of which will be occupied by sleeping. I don't think I could have made it this far without the relief of sleep, easily knocking off 8 hours at a time.

Anyway, back to the nuts. So, I was thinking about sneaking one of those precious morsels into my mouth and just sucking off the salt. The thought then progressed to actually chewing the nut very very very slowly, savoring the texture and the flavor. Then, at the very last moment, I would spit out the macerated mess into the garbage.

Could I do that? Would I be strong enough to spit it out? Would that be "cheating"?How easily it would be to just swallow it. The question then popped into my head, which is the better test of strength? Being on the brink of starvation, chewing a nut and just before it slips down your throat, spit it out; or sticking to your original plan of no solid food for 5 full days?????
