Hi Maxine,

It sounds like you've got a reasonable plan for
dealing with work food temptations. As for the Friday
screw up, shake it off. It's not like starting over.
It's one lousy mistake. The less you obsess over it,
the less important it is. Just keep at your otherwise
well established nosdiet routine. By not allowing
yourself to give in to self revenge, you'll funnel
that righteous energy into ordinary daily strictness
which is so much more important.

Best of luck,

Reinhard
