Agreed. I wash and set aside any fruit/veggies that I plan to bring in
and put any leftovers/yogurt in the front of the fridge the evening
before. It's pretty much a grab and go situation in the morning.

There are people who binge without purging. It's a separate psychiatric
disorder, and these folks are obese. Their binges are often above and
beyond what bulimics can imagine.

I keep a handful of MREs in my desk (that's Meals Ready-to-Eat for
you civilians). They are rather expensive at $5-$6 each, but they
will last forever and each one provides a full hot meal without
shopping or going out and with very little effort. Add a cup of
water for beverage and to activate the heater and you're good to
go.

Two more words: rat poison*.

If you're going to solve a problem, solve it permanently.

* often available as "mouse bait". This stuff is more
attractive to mice than most "real" foods and they will
gravitate toward it if it the least bit more accessable
that the "real" food.

PS - also knew a fellow once that solved rodent problems
with hospitality. He'd leave out salt tablets and anti-
freeze. Not pretty, but effective.

I usually eat one of those 4 oz bags of beef jerky for lunch, so I've always
got a couple of those in my desk.

I sometimes make a kinda rice rice salad...cooked rice, mixed veggies,
leftover meat, mushrooms, nothing stays constant except the rice. Then
decide later at work whether to add salsa, shredded cheese and sour cream
and make rollups. Heat them up and eat. Or heat it up and eat it as a
casserole (no tortilla...) just in the bowl).

Or leave it plain (sans salsa,cheese and sour cream) and add some dressing
and eat it as a cold salad.

canned salmon is good in the mix as a rice salad.
turkey/chicken is better in a tortilla.


Sometimes a stuffed baked potato, to reheat.

I seem to always make too much soup...so I take that to work as well.
to eat and share...The work crowd like that wild rice and almond soup a
great deal.

We occassionaly (bout every 3rd week) hit a ethnic grocery and binge on the
deli meats, black breads and cheeses. Or whatever is offered ethnicwise.
Last time it was a german store...first time I ever had meat salad and
butter cheese and their pickled garlic was good too. Or the greek store
lasagna,hummous and tricopia<sp??> a 3 cheese type phylo dealie::no
spinach. Or the Italian place or the thai place.

We all chuck in say 10 bucks and go wild in the place. We can eat for
several days on the food we buy.

I don't know what I'd do if a found a plate of chicken with no note or anything

I believe you there.

Back to work lunches. When I worked at a university, I could take free classes
and A@P took up my lunch hour three days a week for a school year, so had no
choice but to eat lunch at my desk. I would plate my dinner leftovers with
maybe some turkey, some gravy, some mashed potatoes and green beans all on one
plate the night before, or whatever. Then I could just grab the plate in the
morning and be off to work. I also had to put the coffee ingredients in the
machine the night before so I could just plug it in in the morning and brew.
We had an open office plan with some cubicles. People told me that they were
getting hungry.

And, there was one woman who was on a weird diet at the time and would heat
fish up in the microwave sometimes. Boy, we could all smell it all over the
building.

But, with my last job, you could always graze. Raid the kitchen, and then
people always had their own stashes. One nurse had turkey jerky, which I
liked. The Activities Director had a little fridge in her office and there was
always something in there. She served me tuna salad on flat tortillas and it
wasn't half bad. With holidays, there would always be lots of goodies at the
nurses stations. Oh, and all the cakes and ice cream at the birthday parties.
We could buy a lunch at work for 2 bucks. Depending on who was the cook, some
were bad and some were very good.
Sometimes I miss longterm care, and at other times I hate the idea of working
in that field again. I might volunteer for a few hours a week though.

This woman was actually very obese.

In this office, before it became mine, I had to go there to use a computer
(cheap company). By 10 a.m. they were already discussing lunch plans so I
could hear and excluding me. I didn't really want to go out to lunch with
boring people, and started doing lunch with the interesting people and then the
others ended up feeling left out. I really didn't mean that to happen, but it
did.

One of my favorite lunches was a meatloaf sandwich on usually homemade bread
with ketchup. After I brought that to work it would sittle a couple of hours
and get to room temperature, just how I liked it.

<grins> Yeah, the good salt is not used in the low sodium juice or soup,
it's reserved for the hard boiled eggs from the salad bar... ;-) And the

Put your car keys in the bag. :-)

Works for me, and also works for stuff I need to remember to take home
from work with me!

The folks at work used to say I sounded like a bird; I was always snacking
on sunflower, pumpkin or watermelon seeds.
