Supporting local businesses! Yeah, that's the ticket to indulging in take-out lunch specials on days when you could cook but you just can't bring yourself to do it. You want to eat healthy, but you also want some indulgence. You planned to plan ahead but you waited too long and now your stomach is making the choices. If you cohabitate, this is a very familiar place to be. One hopes the other will 'figure out the meal', so you wait it out and both come up with zeroes. Grouchy and famished, decision-making can then turn dark.
This is the perfect time to surrender, admit you have no power and order out. Of course you can still make semi-appropriate choices, like these vegetable heavy bowls (mine had glass noodles underneath, which are heavenly in their light sauce) from Yori Bowl. Sure, I was weaker and chose the Korean fried chicken chunks in a delicious sauce while P went for the Spicy Pork. I try not to have food regret, which is a delicate balance, because I also try not to get heavy in weight, as my short frame can't handle much extra stomach bulge or else I begin to feel constricted and lethargic.
If your biggest problem is that you can't figure out what to eat for lunch, you must remind yourself that life is still pretty effing great.
