I never eat out or eat foor that other people prepare. If I don't know the calories, then I simply don't eat it. Also I never, ever miss a workout unless I am injured or something. Even then I will probably just work thru it.
Outside influences are tough to fight off. People alway offer me food and candy and this and that. They are not doing it to be mean, it's just or society. I think if I were still married I never would have been able to do this.
