Freaking department lunch

[MidgetDogg]

We have yet another department lunch today. All they ever order for these things is pizza, wings and "salad" (aka - iceberg lettuce with dressing). It's not because I'm watching my calories that I have no interest in any of this food. It's because since I've started eating clean, I don't like it. Twice I've tried pizza since I changed my diet a few months ago and both times I thought, "ehhhhh...."

And I'll get all sorts of looks when I show up with my own lunch of spaghetti squash with marinara sauce. Well, that's not true... people don't care - but i'd like a free lunch that didn't suck once in awhile.

I just had this happen to me yesterday. We had our annual department picnic and they ordered pizza and begginer salad (that's what I call iceberg lettuce with carrots and cheese) and had huge (I'm talking gigantic portions) of apple pie, cherry pie, and chocolate brownies. These things were monsterous (about 3 times the size of a normal slice).

I ended up bringing my own sack lunch of pita bread with tuna salad, cauliflower, and yogurt. No one said anything to me but I would have liked for there to be healthy options available!

Feel Ya

Yeah I know how much that sucks. I'm a vegetarian and a healthful eater - and so my food choices are never taken into consideration when this stuff happens. But my solution was to take over he planning of these things myself - so I'm now the one who organizes and plans the meals. I always make sure dietary restrictions are taken into account. But if I don't do it myself....
