I've been irratable for ....oh.....44 years I guess. Just who I am. Food or no food. But whoa momma when my coworkers surround me with unneccessary boxes of donuts and pizza everyday because they're too lazy to cook....and then insist that 1 will not hurt me. The real irritation comes out.

But sounds like you're facing the big hurdle that we all must learn to deal with...temptations in the real world. It's so much easier to stay on plan at home, in our unique environment and our routine. Once we get away from that...it's a challenge. But one that won't go away so we have no choice but to master it.

Good for you for recognizing it. It will get easier each time. Just don't get complacent, because that's also easy to do in time.

Massindex, that is very impressive. You are a shining example to what is possible. I'm hoping to do a triathalon next year, obviously a shorter one. Keep it up.
