Why is it that whenever I bring lunch, I don't particularly want to eat it when the time comes? Even if it was awesome tasty the night before?

Sigh.

Ditto.
Of course, my peanut butter sandwich and veggie sticks every day is probably a lot more boring than your dinner leftovers. But still.

Lunch is my nemesis!

And really, it was totally tasty. But this happens every time. I have very contrary taste buds.

Grass is greener syndrome.

I know. And yet whenever I *don't* bring lunch, I am depressed by all my options for buying. Food is too hard.

[nonethewiser.livejournal.com]

YES!
Also if I wait to decide on food until I'm hungry, nothing will look like it will taste good.

Seriously - sometimes I wander around in circles for half an hour, rejecting everything I see while my stomach grumbles.

I do that too. It's like i get to a certain stage of hungriness and then Nothing is good enough. It's very frustrating.

Because you're so over it and you just want to move on, but you feel like your lunch is sitting there, telling you you can't?

I dunno.

Dammit, my lunch is running my life!

I go home for lunch almost every day, because I live that close. And I regularly tell my entire kitchen that I hate it, and I have variety!

[listersgirl]

That's my dream - to live close enough to go home for lunch. I'm sure I, too, will hate my kitchen at that far off date. :)

I feel the same way! Also about trying to get out and find lunch if I don't bring it, there are too many options and I don't want to go get something crappy, I want the Perfect Lunch but then what is that? And so I get hungry and I get something bad for me and eat too much and bah.

I need to get out of this scarcity mentality about my lunch calories. If I have bad for me food one day, I can have something very healthy for dinner or the next lunch or whatever.

Breakfast, on the other hand, has just way too many tasty options. Breakfast for lunch would fix my problems, if it were easy to get.

OMG I am totally the same way. I can always think of what I'd rather have instead, and even though there are 3 food courts and a bunch of restaurants where I work, they never seem to have what I want.

Clearly we need to develop more generic taste buds. :P

I blame the office environment. Nothing really looks tasty in a plastic microwave container.

[listersgirl]

So true.
