Yesterday I didn’t go home for lunch. I was so relaxed. It was enjoyable to not worry about the rush. Today I might not come home for lunch either. But it is my goal to leave for work this morning at 745. I am setting my alarm accordingly. I will probably not remain at work all day. It will help me to come home early and prepare for Sunday.

Ontime, you are saying that it is very difficult to go back to work after having lunch at home.
Do you feel the problem is coming from the comfort of being home?
If so, would you have other options such as eating in a place close by your work or in the cafeteria if there is some?
You could bring your lunch and eat it in a park or a place close by.
Maybe that would help with your challenges of going back to work on time.

Yes I think that does help. I have made the habit of only going home certain days of the week now for lunch. I need to let the dog out sometimes. But yesterday it was a time element again. When I go home, I think I need to select different types of food to eat that I can eat more quickly. A salad takes too long to eat. Yesterday I had shrimp and that took too long because I had to peel and eat. Soup takes too long. Sandwiches and quick fruit like grapes or kiwi is the type of food that I have time to eat.

Hey!
Maybe when you go home, you can try to eat more snacky foods, foods that you can easily pick and go that you can possibly eat in your vehicle on your way back to work. Another good idea would be to eat snacks during your small breaks before lunch so that when it comes to lunch time, you aren't starving and have more time to let your dog out instead of sitting down and eating. Let us know how your new ideas work for you!!

Yes, I have noticed that when I eat snacks prior to lunch, I am satisfied with less food when I go home that can be consumed more quickly. It also makes the lunch break more enjoyable. Now the trick is stocking my drawer with healthy snacks.
