HI deanie,
Welcome to LDL! I work a lot of hours too! Sometimes I don't get home till 8 or 9. It is challenging. But I have to say that following LD has actually made things easier for me. I no longer put off eating until I am famished and then make poor food choices bc I am in a hurry. I always have all that I need with me. Is there a place at work where you can warm up your food or keep your fruit cold? That would help though not really necessary.
If you could invest in one of those insulated lunch bags, you would be all set. I found one in Wall Mart that has a zippered bottom and came with a good quality plastic container that fit right in there. It is perfect for my lunch main meal. The top section is where I store my fruit and drinks if I bring them. When the frig broke at work, I also put in baggies with ice in there as well, just in case.

As for the plan itself, do you have the book? You didn't say. You can learn almost all you need from the FAQ section of this site. Please go there for tons of helpful info. Also ask ALL the questions you like. We are all here to help.
YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY SUCCEED with the plan and with your new LDL family ready to support and encourage you at all times.
I tried almost everything that was out there for the past 30 years! Nothing took away my cravings and left me feeling satisfied and serene like LDL does. It is remarkable!
Please let us know what other questions you may have. I KNOW there will be a lot of great advice coming at you in just a few short hours. You will be amazed.

Julie

Hello- I work 7pm until 7:30am (3 nights) in an acute care hospital.
On the nights I work, I have my heavy protein meal @ home.
Somewhere between 1am & 3 am I have mixed berries, Tuscan bean dip on corn thins,
or mixed beans in diced tomatoes.
If I feel like I want something else, I have popcorn.
On the way home, I have an apple or a banana.
I started at 164 lbs, down to 149 lbs now!
My goal is 140 lbs to 145 lbs.
I am delighted with the diet plan, never have I enjoyed the food so much,
AND LOST WEIGHT!
