[QUOTE="NeilHewitt, post: 1911293, member: 493176"] Thanks for all the advice and support (again)! You're right, it's not that hard to give up junk food - I've done it before, actually many times. It's much less about being attracted to bad food, although certainly I have my occasional cravings for sugar or chocolate or fried chicken, and much more about settling for bad food because I can't / don't want to do better. So it's nearly 6pm, I'm in the office - I don't usually leave until 6.30 - and then I have to go and get on a train home. By the time I get there it'll be probably 7.30. So the challenge for me, if I'm ready to accept it, is to divert into the supermarket and buy ingredients and make myself some dinner, rather than dialling up Just Eat (which I have now removed from my phone) or eating unwisely out in town, and telling myself 'tomorrow I'll be good...'. Wish me luck :-) [/QUOTE]
