Re: Working too much
In Response To: Re: Working too much ()

Thanks Allison, when I put my mind to it, I know I can do it. I spent nearly 3 months eating all my meals at work.. In fact it became a bit of a joke in the office!

I think each time I have a slip I learn a bit more about my pattern of behaviour. By isolating and not keeping a connection to the community it's like I can deny accountability and pretend that I'm not actually abusing my body and justify my actions. Whereas if I share when I am having problems kind people like you will remind me the solution is right there and it's not so difficult.

Thank you for your sharing your meal ideas and your Joy :h8)

My Joy today has been reading the replies to my post whilst having my lunch, on time with protein, veggies and browns :h4)

: restaurant with a friend

: Sharon, although I don't generally
: work extra hours, I often have
: things to do after work that mean
: dinner will be late. What I do is
: to bring a dinner to work with me.
: For instance, last week I was
: checking hawk and owl nests after
: work, so I brought brown rice, a
: chicken burger with cheese and
: some frozen vegetables. I ate it
: before leaving work. Then when we
: got home and my husband cooked, I
: ate a small meal. We bought the
: chicken burgers at Costco, and
: they are program friendly. They
: are pre cooked and just need to be
: heated up. I cook brown rice in
: big batches (and if you get a rice
: cooker, it takes even less effort
: because you don't have to worry
: about overcooking it). And we buy
: big bags of frozen vegetables at
: Costco. So it takes very little
: time and effort to pack a dinner.

: I also pack my lunch every day, so if
: I should have to work through
: lunch, I have food I can eat at my
: desk. Or I can eat at my desk and
: then use my lunch break to go for
: a walk.

: So with very little effort, it is
: possible to eat all your meals
: even if you working extra hours.
: And you will probably do your work
: more efficiently with food in your
: body. I know I don't work so well
: when I am crashing.
