I too work in a large open plan office. In the morning there I stir my shake into a paste and eat and at lunchtime I make up the soup by adding hot water in the kitchen.
Are people bothered/ curious? - not at all. The people at my desk all know what I'm doing and are generally quite impressed with the weight loss.
I see no need to hide it myself as a guy, so for a woman doing this I would assume even more taken for granted as women in general are more diet orientated (preponderance of women here for example). Most people are not that curious, and even if they are get used to things quickly.
As others have said you're doing this for you and it is something I'm willing to wager as the weeks roll on and the fat rolls off you'll be justifiably proud of yourself for doing; maybe standing up for yourself as you see it is a good psychological part of the diet - weight loss is after all partly about your mind and emotions wanting to let go as well as your body!
