I have brought sarnies in today for lunch, why have I just scoffed half of them, only been in work for 2 hours. Why don’t I have any self control???? 🙁

Mmm clue in your name? I resisted the kit kat urge earlier and just put the sandwiches in my bag. Lot of shops round here though and I need some milk…..

No that is because I am grotesquely ugly 😆

1st two hours are always the hungriest

I’ve just scoffed:

2 x Sausages
1 x Spinach
1 x Beans

So I raise you your sodding cheapskate/pikey/half cobbled together with white bread/Heinz sandwich filling blooming sandwiches, with a “proper breakfast” 😆

I now have about a pint of strong coffee to get through.. I maybe sometime 😉

I always struggle between 10 and 12, and if I brought my lunch, would finish it long before anyone else seemed to even think about it. Then, I would want something again by 12:30.

To combat this, I no longer bring anything at all with me, and if I treat myself to food, it is only by walking down the road and picking up an apple or something at the local Tesco Metro.

In other, words, I sympathise Pigface. I really do. 🙁

Have locked sarnies In van to stop me grazing on them.

I feel your pain, my sandwiches rarely make it past 10.

1 x Beans

Woah, go easy on the beans there bikebuoy 😉

Not just me then, it’s rare my sarnies last till 12.

that’s what sandwiches are for, no?

I’ve just scoffed:

2 x Sausages

Spinach for breakfast….WTF

You think you’ve got problems. I have also eaten my butties

But… I know that less than 20 yards away from where I’m presently sat there is a Sayers bakery. Which sounds relatively waistband-threatening already.

But what they’ve produced is pure evil. Lovely, fatty, deliciously satisfying, tasty, saturated fat evil. They’ve taken McDonalds greatest gift to the world – the sausage and egg mcmuffin – and made a vastly superior version of it. So you can eat it without feeling dirty. Because you’re not in the golden arches, the self-loathing is massively reduced

Like I said… pure evil!

20 yards away….

How much is 1 x spinach?

If anyone put spinach in front of me at breakfast, especially if it was sullying the same plate as a sausage, they’d be taking their life in their hands

bastards.
now Ive opened this thread Im hungry.
Worse still, I work from home, and the fridge is loaded.

I’m just about to eat a bacon and egg butty from the shop up the road because it’s Monday and the network’s playing up and I’ve answered too many stupid questions already and sod it.

2 x Sausages
1 x Spinach
1 x Beans

a “proper breakfast”

Good god, what?! 😯

Eggs Benedict – nom nom nom

Eggs Florentine – vom vom vom

I’ve just gnawed through the remains of the roast leg of lamb from yesterday, fortunately I’m WFH today…

If I was in your situation, Stoner, I would be the size of a house. Honestly.

First, all the meat products would be gone. Then the bread and butter (yum!). Then the yoghurt. It’s not like I think about this, mind.

Some of you obviously don’t have enough work to do. Your bosses should be informed and given bigger whips.

You need to look at your diet.

Because I’m a reformed bloater my GP sent me to a dietician. She made me swap 2 rounds of toast for Muesli and wham bam thankyoumam – 10am hunger became 12pm hunger – it’s got something to do with nuts or perhaps oats, GI and protein or something, I don’t pretend to know or care what.

But it worked.

Whereas muesli does heehaw to kill my appetite.

12 noon and I was straight into the microwave with leftover shepherds pie.

Because breakfast was insufficient?

If breakfast was sufficient, they wouldn’t have invented elevensies.

To all your ‘like way superior’ comments about my Spinach fascination/fixation/fornication, I’ll have you know Popeye ate tins of the stuff and he got to sniff Olive Oils arm pits.. so theres something in that right? 😆

As is, that little lot cost me £2.15 add my pint of coffee in and thats £3.25.

£3.25 a day, everyday, everyday of the working week except Fridays when I work from home and then I’m in rehab until Monday morning comes around again.

Spinach is one of the first things that sells out, that and Eggs.

It’s windy in the Office most days 😀

I used to do this, but then read an article about an early breakfast making you hungrier sooner.

So now I have black coffee before work, and then eat breakfast between 10 and 11. Lunch at 12.30 and then an evening meal at 6. Lost quite a lot of weight doing it as well

Behind me, about 5 feet away are four pots of those mini bites from M&S, for public consumption.

Moly you are screwed 😆

Pretty much how I’ve always done things – breakfast just makes me hungry for the rest of the morning so i just don’t bother with it (other than a cup of nice coffee) usually and quite am quite happy not eating til lunchtime as a result. (in fact if I’m not paying attention I sometimes don’t think to eat til 3-ish)

These things?

If so, about 18 months ago I worked in a place where someone use to bring these into the office. I’ve never enjoyed any of the contents. I’m fairly sure I’m not missing anything important.

At my current office, there’s usually cakes, biscuits, etc, laid out in the kitchen. However, I’m never tempted and can quite easily look on, uninterested in any of it.

I made a concious effort today and sarnies lasted until 1pm!

This never used to be a problem when I smoked. Caffeine and nicotine used to complete my dietary needs until lunchtime.

Now I’m compelled to eat my own bodyweight each day, before 12

Life is just like SOOOOOOOOOO not fair! 🙁

Apparently Nicotine promotes the release of fat from fat cells. Probably why those who partake experience suppressed appetite.

No pictures of Greggs fine breakfast fare?

Have you tried…

This is where its at Solo…

Spinach in the morning, imo, is a good move away from more popular choices.

But garlic, in the morning? Too French for me!
