    Well.... as long as you don't eat for a living you should do fine. At least for me, it seems to be a lot easier to avoid overeating. I am too busy working to get the munchies. The only thing I find I need to be careful of is to pack a big enough lunch that I am not ready to eat everything in the house when I get home. Makes it hard to avoid excess snacking before dinner.

    For me, work is what makes it easy. Working in a factory setting, breaks are regimented and happen every 2 hours. I am supposed to eat every 2-2 1/2 hours so it works out well. I do a pretty good job of sticking with the plan at work (though I do take advantage of donuts occasionally when someone brings them in the office). At home though.... especially on weekends when I am off. It'sMUCH harder for me to stick with so I have just started learning to do well at work and do the best I can manage on the weekends.

    I also stopped beating myself up when I don't do as well and simply accept I am gonna backslide a bit on the weekends.

    Unfortunately at my job I can have food at my desk. Use to keep a lot of hard candy there and ate on it throughout the day but ignored it today. I agree with the not beating yourself up when we fall we are not perfect. Sometimes those sweets beat us.

    Keeping food at your desk could be an advantage.... Just have to make sure you have the right kind of food!!! Good luck to you!

    I find staying on track at work so much easier than being at home. I premake all of my food for the day and can't eat what I don't have. Clean the junk out of your desk snack drawer and keep good snacks! (I have protein bars, fiber one bars for sweet treats, and protein shakes in case I need a boost)
