Lunch Ideas

Filed Under General | 6324 Comments

It’s been quite a while since I updated. Work has been so very hectic, as has school - and all I seem to want to do when I get home is sleep! :) I can’t seem to resist the lure of chips and bread during lunch, but portion control has been good. Dinners have been healthier than lunches, so I signed up for a challenge with some other friends to try and brown bag lunch for all of March. So this weekend, I’ll sit and make a list of lunch ideas - healthy, and cheap options! :) Another requirement - I like having a warm meal. Cold sandwiches leave me…cold.I feel like I haven’t really eaten anything…so they’ll have to be things  can warm up in the microwave. Any suggestions?

2008 is off to a really crappy start. It needs to cease its relentless infliction of misery, and call a truce with me. So far this year,

  • I had a car accident - my third in a year! Whereas the last two times were not my fault, this time…I don’t know what happened. Physically I’m fine, emotionally and financially I’m devastated.
  • The boy I like, and who flirts with me like crazy… has a girlfriend. Someone he saw fit to mention only recently.
  • This other “possibility of progress”, a really nice guy - who is very sweet and kind, has a thing for a friend of mine. It’s like, will I ever have a chance with ANYONE? People say *I* am the picky one - well then how come I’m also the unwanted one?
  • My job is going nowhere. I can’t foresee the next step right now, and money-wise, unless I see an improvement soon … it’s getting harder and harder to meet my day-to-day expenses, particularly with unexpected expenses such as a major car accident.

 I feel fat, bloated and depressed. As a person with melancholic tendencies, I find it incredibly hard to remain optimistic and upbeat. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be “whole”, if I will ever be content.

 My weight is still around 125, but I’m sluggish and bloated all the time. My food choices have been poor, and I can see my face has filled out. It’s only a matter of time before the scale reflects that too.

How I can bring myself out of this funk? How can I make myself feel worth it? More importantly, when will things CHANGE in my life for the better?
