So I am in the middle of conquering lunch. It is going ok. Except, you know when I said I had conquered snacks. I forgot that it is an ongoing war and snacks started creeping back into my day like Twix from the vending machine. So now I have to fight two separate battles again. It is easier to conquer snacks when you can eat whatever for lunch, but the second you start going low calorie on lunch the snack attack then hits you. Back in the day it was sufficient to use sunflower seeds. I do have apples at my desk but that is not enough. I guess low calorie means you have to really fight.

So now I am at my desk eating a mini-burger Lunchable which contains 380 calories and actually tastes pretty good, much better than lean quisine stuff. But as I look at what I am eating this is what I see: 1 box to hold it all. 1 tray with plastic wrap to contain everything. 1 wrapper around the buns. 1 wrapper around pre-grilled patties. 1 ketchup wrapper. 1 mustard wrapper. 1 mini-nestle crunch wrapper. 1 capri-sun container. 1 straw wrapper. For a grand total of 9 separate packages/wrappers! For one meal!! Now I feel guilty about eating lunch. I should go out and grill two mini patties, get 2 slices of bread, 1 slice of cheese, no ketchup and a diet coke. Then put it in a reusable lunchbox and probably save a buck and the planet. Thanks Oscar Mayer. I am such a sinner!
