Just curious who brings their lunch from home or goes out to eat each day?

I am one of those brownbaggers - unless I am out running errands, then I treat myself to lunch.

Well, most of the time I bring my lunch- becuase I am trying to keep with my healthy diet, and the options around me are not so healthy! On the occasion that I forget or don't have the time to make a lunch, I work at WalMart so there isnt any problem finding something to eat! :lol:

I bring my lunch usually, and eat at my desk while...ahem..workiing....but then the problem is usually....where the heck am I going to put it! Sometimes I open it up and spread it out on the floor. What do you think Pat....is that a good idea?

Pat?!! LOL!!!

Now that you mention it, you would probably lose your lunch by the looks of your desk! hehe

Sometimes I bring my lunch. Most of the time I go home for lunch.

Yikes I'm not Pat? Remember the character from Saturday Night Live - that's why I like being called Patricia.

Spreading it out on the floor - hmmm - hope its cleaner than your desk "J" - hehehehe!!!!

I live just a couple of blocks away from the hospital, so I take my lunch hour at home. :)

I'm a brown bagger myself, but I usually get pizza with the department on Friday and my usual salad on Wednesdays. :D

I bring lunch from home almost everyday except Fridays. By the end of the week it's time to treat myself to something "special."

It depends. I work at home so I walk downstairs for lunch. If I am out and about I stop and get something, but nothing compares to home made.

Wow, that's healthy! :lol:

I can't say anything though, I was the same way a few months ago! However, my smaller jeans thank me for giving up that habit! :D

Uh, no. :eek:

Clear a little space on your desk and put your lunch there or put some of your work on the floor to give yourself some room. I don't know, there's something about having food on the floor...

I live 10 minutes from work, and I almost always have errands, so I always go home for lunch.

I bring my lunch most days, although 2 or 3 times a month I will go out to eat during lunch.
