This thread is for those of us who would like to slim down, eat better or just improve a health habit or two. I see no need to limit discussions to weight loss. If, for example, you are trying to quit smoking or trying to reduce your alcohol consumption, then by all means jump right in. You will find many friends here. I also love a good meandering thread and if things should happen to meander off-topic now and again, that is just fine with me. This is a place to post health goals and the progress you achieve in attaining them. (In my case, it is a place to post health goals and the utter lack of progress I achieve in attaining them!!!) It is also a place to gripe, a place to commiserate, a place to celebrate one another's successes and a place to be supportive of one another. ID: 1576832 ·

The Space Sciences Lab is in a remote hill location on campus and there is no cafeteria or cafe in either building associated with the lab. If I did not make Eric a lunch, he would eat doo-doo out of a vending machine every day, or worse yet, hop in his car and go out for fast food five days a week. Since I do not wish to be a widow, I pack him a reasonably healthy lunch to take in each day. Anyway, my little Absent Minded Professor has three rotating "manly" vinyl lunch bags that I use for packing his lunch. He needs to have three because he frequently forgets his empty lunch bag at work. The standing threat in our house is that if he forgets his lunch bag at work three days in a row and I am out of dignified lunch bags to use, then on the fourth day I am going to pack him a lunch in the most pink, sparkly, fru-fru gift bag that I can find in our collection of reusable gift bags. Last night, as I was packing Eric's third and final dignified lunch bag, I warned him, "Bring home those empty bags, or you're getting lunch in that pink gift bag next time!!!" Eric replied, "Go ahead and pack the gift bag. If people comment on it at work, I'll just tell them that my mistress packed my lunch for me!" Men!!! ID: 1577905 ·

Might I suggest you buy him a 4th bag with Hello Kitty on it or something similar. Unfortunately I have little interaction with the very young so I don't know what the current fad is ID: 1577909 ·

The fourth bag is supposed to serve as a deterrent to Eric leaving his lunch bags at work. If a Star Wars bag were his fourth bag, he would deliberately leave bags one, two and three at work!
