Yes, weight loss is a mental game and you do have to be ready to lose. When the pain of being overweight becomes more important than the taste of the food, you will be ready (I read that somewhere, lol). Eating after work is a habit and habits can be changed. Check out a book called Becks Diet Solution on amazon.com. You might also look to see if your local library carries it. It's not a diet book but a book to help you change your behaviors and they way you think about food.
