You know that scene in The Breakfast Club? The one where Andy the jock just keeps taking more and more stuff out of his lunch bag and the rest of the group is staring at him like they can't believe that he eats that much food?
I feel like that every morning as I unpack my bags in my office. I mean, I have an office to myself, so it's not like anyone's watching and sneering, but I always feel a little silly as I lay it all out on my desk. Today it was a yogurt, a banana, a cup of strawberries, a packet of trail mix, and 3 bottles of water. Oh, and the Lean Cuisine I dropped off at the cafeteria freezer.
All this preparation, just so I can resist the seductive whisper of the vending machine in the afternoons.

I had a similar experience with some flamin' hot cheetos once.
I mean, of course you have to eat the whole bag. The 50 cents is already spent, right? Besides, wasting even substandard chips makes the starving homeless children cry. :)

I bring lots of different foods to work as well - or at least should - to keep me from snacking on my coworker's candy.
