What i tend to eat for lunch when I make it myself is a nice sandwich with real whole wheat bread (50 calories a slice for ours!) and load it up with turkey or any other lower calorie lunchmeats, a slice of cheese, and occasionally darker leafed greens like raw spinach or whatever we have in the house. the darker the veggie, usually, the better for you it is. xD And then a serving of any fruit on the side. Another thing you could do is rice and dress it up with veggies and sauce. What we had the other night ws those 'veggie steamers' cheddar and broccoli servings mixed into our rice. So nummy. Really just try to be well rounded in it, don't make it ALL fruit or ALL veggie or ALL bread and so on.

That's how my best friend makes his sandwiches, & I often steal them because they are delish. I'm thinking I should just switch breads, because I LOVE the taste of my wheat brand, but it gets all dry by lunchtime, so I don't pack sandwiches often.

I'm also tempted to try wraps, but I've heard some of those are bad for you, so I'm thinking I can buy my own tortillas & make more healthy ones at home. My friend (same as above) does that, & his are so good, I steal bites a lot.

Oh, & I pack apples a lot, but I'm getting sick of them. I need a new fruit. xD

I edited that last post and added more to it in case you miss it xD
Wraps can be good if you make them yourself. And ew dry bread. Maybe you need to store them more air tight?

Also I suggest getting those 100 calorie packs of things like cookies or chips for when you want little treats. Just make sure you really keep track of them. And also make sure you know for sure how many calories you need a day so you don't go over, but also so you don't end up staying under the limit. Some people end up eating too little because they don't realize that their body needs more calories depending on their weight or height than say, their size zero 5foot tall friend. They go, well this person is skinny and eats this much a day to stay in shape, so that's what I need to do to get there! But that's not how it works, lol.

As for fruit, I eat a lot of grapes, haha. Because they feel more snackish. Most anything berry like is bound to be yummy. There's also pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots [which I think are yummier dried... xD] oranges, blood oranges [soooo good], pomegranate, grapefruit [which I hate but, to each their own] and... surprise! Avocado! :3

Don't forget to also get servings of veggies, too, they're important.

I don't keep a tight count on my calories. It just stresses me out trying to stay under a certain number, but I can tell when I'm eating something super caloric, so I try to not eat more than one of those things a day. (For example, I'll have one peice of band funraiser candy I bought to support my friends, or one bowl of frozen yogurt a night.)

@Alice: Grapes are my thing lately, same with strawberries, even though you have to wash them intensely xD

& as for veggies, I'm not as picky as some. I'm in LOVE with asparagus, which most people hate.

Hmmm. Well just be sure you eat when your body tells you to and avoid emotional eating then, if you aren't going to watch your calories. It's sometimes hard to tell the difference between "I'm bored I NEED a snack!" or "I wanna watch a movie, I need movie goodies!" and "I am having actual, valid feelings of hunger and should eat". It's easy for some and harder for others.

It used to me hard for me, because I'd be lonely & food would be my friend. But I have this thing where I lose my appetite when I get depressed, so I guess I'm not the average American xD

I'm just going to go with what lauren is saying because I agree with her. XD

[pigeonsoup]

I have the same thing, if I'm lonely or bored I want to eat, but if I'm upset or depressed I don't want to. It's hard to overcome, but it's possible. BUT if you have an extremely desperate craving, indulge yourself, or you'll end up pigging out later on when you just snap and can't hold on to self control any longer xD

Have I ever been through that!

Lucky for me, my cravings this summer have been for juicy things, & I found this awesome natural fruit juice that fufills it PERFECTLY. It might be a tad expensive, but it's super good & really good for me, too.

[pigeonsoup]

That's good n.n

I used to always drink this pormagante blueberry juice that is good for the brain. :3

I love that stuff! I also like pomegrante cranberry, I enjoy the strong flavor. I noticed if I eat/drink something that's really strong, I feel more full/satisfied than if I eat something bland.

[x-EternalAlice-x]

I never have drunk the one with cranberry in it. 0.o

I ******** hate this project.
Not everyone is beautiful, not everyone is special, and your objective is to... make the adjective "beautiful" synonymous with... "average"? Well, alright. But the adjective "beautiful" will just be replaced with a new word in time. It kinda defeats your point, I think. As the term "beautiful" becomes "average", people will simply replace it with another word meaning the same thing above average... and still use the opposing words for everything "unbeautiful", the opposites: ugly, not pretty, horrendous aesthetically, aesthetically unpleasing.
I've an unintelligent mind, a dirty personality and an ugly face. Sub-par IQ, shitty mind and a beyond-broken moral code. I support my comrades killing minorities and my art is pretty ********' ugly. My style is SHAPED to be ugly. I like when my drawings make people cringe and pause.
Let people who harp on themselves to harp upon themselves. Nine times out of ten, they've done bloody nothing to deserve 1 million asspats. I know sure as hell I've not done anything for asspats. Believe me, and I think I speak for most people here, when you've bad self esteem, you may also have an ego underneath. I'm think I, and everyone, is worthless s**t for my own reasons.
But on the other hand, I can be god.
Furthermore, bad self esteem allows me to poke both at myself and other people. And because of my sub-par IQ and bad self esteem, I feel as if I have to prove myself and go to unnecessarily far lengths. Learn multiple languages [Russian, German, in that order, then Icelandic, Swedish, Norwegian and Welsh, not in that order] and just generally try harder than my peers. And if someone can genuinely like me despite all this, then it's most likely truth, if they say they love me.
I don't think most people can say that. Most people don't have awful personalities, "awful" ideologies... most people have a pretty okay moral coding. I've none of that. On one hand, it makes me inferiour, on the other, superiour.

Then leave if you don't like it. No one should feel like they are ugly and not wanted for who they are which is the point of this thread that everyone is beautiful in their own way. There is something about each of us that makes us special and different from everyone else. And from all your other posts I see a very ugly soul.

As a good friend said to me . You can be beautiful on the outside but can be ugly on the inside and that is what makes you truely ugly.

@Gardien de lune: We needed the rain. With all the smoke from the forest fires (no where near where I live but we do get thick heavy smoke). Plus when it has been +30C (sorry I only know the metric system) we got cooled down which is really nice but the headache that comes with the rain could be a little less evil to me lol.

Funny. So someone beautiful only on the outisde isn't beautiful in their own way? So everyone is "beautiful"? Doesn't that mean everyone is average? Again, as I said in my post, the value of the word means s**t when you're saying it for the sake of saying it.
But hey, I've an ugly soul, an ugly face, an ugly layer of fat on my flesh, won't be pretty until I'm skeletal... so, hum, am I beautiful in my own way?
Isn't my beauty employing the right of opinion? Having and holding one? The ability to do what I think is right despite the masses telling me I'm wrong? The ability to persevere through constant slander of me and my ideology, constant catcalls of "you're stupid! You're just rebelling!"?
Oh, nope. You just think that because I'm not going to use the word "beauty" at a drop of the hat, that I find beauty in only whites, that I'm some evil ********' person, completely and irrevocably ugly.

Inner beauty is subjective.
