I see the majority of people at work everyday eat out. I understand. All we ask is that you consider something else in life because the rewards could be even greater:
Negatives:
1. Not have the time.
2. Rather, on your little bit of time off, be lazy and not have to shop, prepare, cook, and clean.
But, this could be your life:
1. Saving dollars!!! This equals earlier retirement or emergency savings.
2. Eating healthy and avoiding the fat, salt, and sugar you can't totally control eating out. What's the matter with a simple yogurt and fruit instead of an unhealthy breakfast? This can lead to extra pounds on over time. Keeping the pounds off is less time at the gym and more time for what matters in life.
3. Being so hungry at work that by the time the food comes, even if the order is wrong, you have a headache and will eat almost anything. On your way home, you can keep a snack right in your vehicle like a sandwich or cheese so you don't overeat on your ride home. This gives you power over the temptations as you drive by them.
4. It takes time to go to restaurants. I use this time at work for ME to distress, exercise, or my favorite, take a 15-20 minute nap.
It's like at work people never think they will get hungry again. Hunger will come. Plan for it. Instead of paying $1.25 for that soda pop out of the vending machine, you could have your own brand name soda pop or healthier option in a little frig. by your desk, or in our case, in our 12 volt frig. in our vehicle!!!!!
