The diet gods must not like me very much

Ok, so, I'm back on plan today and it seems that the diet gods must not like me or must be mad at me for something! I have had a very crappy day, and it doesn't seem to be getting better :(. First off, I woke up half an hour late, and today was one day where I needed extra time to get all my healhty stuff ready for work. I made it to work on time, so that turned out ok. Then my boyfriend, Neil, called me to let me know his work shift has been changed from the 6am-6pm shift to the 1pm-1am shift. He works swing 12 hour shifts 2 days on, 2 days off, 3 days on, then 2 days off, 2 days on, 3 days off (basically he either works Wednesday and Thursday with the other days off or has Wednesday and Thursday off and works the other days. This means that we will have very little time to see one another (we do not live together). Then, about 15 minutes after he tells me this, I go into the breakroom to find out that they are cleaning out the refrigerators at 3:00 in the afternoon! I just brought a bunch of healthy stuff to work with me, and it has now been sitting on my desk for over 3 hours because I couldn't leave it in the fridge or freezer, and I won't be home from work until 9:30 pm tonight. It's going to really suck if it all goes bad (lean meats, cheese, etc.), and it's also going to suck to have to bring it ALL back in again tomorrow! Then, one of my co-workers annoyed the heck out of me because she told me that the reason they had to clean out the refrigerators was because of people like me who bring stuff to work for more than one day. I'm like no, the reason they have to clean the fridge is because of people like you who order food EVERY day and then leave your leftovers in the fridge only to never eat them AND never throw them away, not people like me who bring food and EAT it or take it home every weekend. Ugh, she just rubbed me the wrong way! Oh yeah, Neil also informed me that we are going out to eat pizza with his family tomorrow night after our softball game. Thursday night pizza night has been a tradition with his family since long before I was around, so I can't suggest not going, and they ALWAYS have pizza, so I can't change that either. I highly doubt there will be salad available, and even if there is, I really dislike iceburg salads and/or any kinds of salad dressing. And, finally, Neil told me today he is planning on using pretty much all of his time off to go on a week long trip with the family to Louisiana in June (I don't have enough time to go because I just started my current job in January) and to take a weeklong trip to Chicago in September (right after my birthday) to stay with his best friend and his wife for their annual "block party", and I don't see myself being invited because this is his annual "guys week", and I really don't like his friends' wife at all. That means he will have no time off to go do anything with me, not even a short weekend trip like we had been talking about.
Ok, I think I have it all out now :). Thanks for letting me vent. I'm just frustrated and tired and a bit hungry today!

As for Neil--kick his rear end and show him who is boss. Have you told him how much you were looking forward to a weekend trip and how you wanted that time b/c you never get to see each other much? Maybe he will surprise you and invite you to go. I don't know what money is like for you guys, but could you arrange to take time off without pay to go with the family?
As for the pizza--maybe you could just scrape the toppings off and eat those. I did that all the time when I was on Atkins. Or limit yourself to just one piece. I don't know--this stuff is hard.
Thank you so much! I think that I am going to go for a walk on my lunch break to get some fresh air and get away from of my annoying co-workers. I just need to be happy that I am back on the right track :).
