I can now walk through the office break room and ignore it all. When you consider many of my co-workers start their day with bagels and toast, meetings usually have pastry, and we often have pizza Fridays, that's no small thing.

I ignored DH's off-plan food, much of which I don't like But still, if I were to fall off my plan, temptations are all around. Not to mention the drive home, when I'm often hungry and exhausted, have so many bad choices that would take me minutes in the drive-through.

The sheer weight of adding the extra work of shopping and cooking is enough for some who are used to buying meals faster and cheaper than socks.
