I think I may have started this but I can't imagine that most people don't 
have some trouble sticking to it. For me, food has always been a source of 
solace, stress relief, and rest as well as a joy to prepare; I even like 
grocery shopping.
So all tha works for me in one way: I like planning, shopping and cooking. 
The obstacles are many: I am a teacher and spend 12-15 hours a day working 
plus a good part of my weekend. I am thinking that when I retire in May, it 
should be easier for me to find time to do what is necessary to stay on the 
diet.
Rest comes with eating. When I'm not eating, I need to get back to work.
Solace comes from not being in my own family a lot when I was little and so 
getting the food I want became very important to me. I still feel a surge of 
pleasure when I go into the grocery store.... and all that was over 50 years 
ago!
Stress is part of family life. It comes often and routinely. Thursday I took 
my wife in for some out-patient surgery and the accompanying stress made a 
stop at the Mexican grocery store with its deli section and tortillas a 
must-do. It also was a moment of sharing with my wife.
And on and on, excuse after excuse.
I'm doing well, though. Thanks for the support.
