Doreen, where are you? Your lovely face has been hijacked by a cup of coffee!

I plan my menus a week in advance. I keep to the plan about 95% of the time, occasionally altering my breakfast or lunch menus.
I'm not sure whether this just means I'm boring or it's my obssessive nature showing through.
I began to write that it helps me to stay in control then remembered that I have actually done this for the last few years. I'd faithfully start a new diet each week, writing out a very "healthy" looking menu. I'd keep to it more or less, just adding a bucketload or two of chocolate every night!
So no, I can't in all honesty say it helps with control.
I'm scratching my head here trying to figure out why I do this. I think it's just a convenient way to work out my shopping list.
Sorry I don't have a better explanation Doreen!
