I just had a lovely lunch of salad and tuna. Some days I take in a wrap and that adds a bit of variety.

My go to office lunch is a 2 oz can of tuna in Water drained and mixed with fat free Salad Dressing, 4 wheat thins and a smal pre packed snack pack of fat free cottage cheese. No nuking required.

I like to make a cold Pasta salad (w/ veggies and sometimes added ham or chicken for extra protein); however, I use multi-grain Pasta by Barilla as it is loaded w/ Vitamins and Protein. I add fat free Robusto (or Zesty) Italian dressing and whatever veggies. You can add low fat or fat free cheese too (just make sure to keep your serving size under a cup).

Any chance you could talk to your work to see if they would allow a microwave or a toaster oven?

Traveling and being a consultant makes lunch a little hard on occasion. Key things I stick to include:

- tuna, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado or mayo on toast or mini crackers

- sushi if I can buy some on the way or the night prior

- yoghurt, bran and fruit

- plate of salad, with Beans or cheese like feta or cheddar cubes

- prawns, smoked salmon or a boiled egg are also good as a lunch Protein if you need to eat cold food.

I to used to have this problem. For a while i did my protien shake at lunch instead of Breakfast. Then I started doing yogurt and a fruit or string cheese and some veggies with low cal veggie dip.

In still on liquid/soups. This is day 13! I got creative. Bought Carraba's chicken Soup asked them to hold the Pasta. Took it home blinded it. Hmmm. Had plenty to divide into 6 one ounce portions.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
