sereneorangelivejournal was pimping this community eat_my_bento and I started looking through them. It seemed like a nice creative outlet while doing something healthy for myself as well. 
I never cook. I am just not a natural cook. I need to. I am hoping it will help me see food differently. See it as something creative, ceremonious, and healthy to do for me as opposed to something to shove in my gullet and keep working, or eat quickly because my blood sugar is too low, or to munch while I am bored.
This is on its way to me as we speak.
Until then, I have been using a round container from Chinese food take out.
So far, I have made these lunches. (sometimes I ate the same thing 2 days in a row.
This is carmelized tofu with walnuts, spinach, jasmine rice, a light laughing cow cheese wedge, and some spicey/ Sweet pepper my sister brought for me to put in my lunches.
This is fake meat bbq cups, laughing cow cheese wedge, cherry tomatoes and a fruit salad in orange, pineapple, and pomegranite juice.
This is cranberry/ sweet potato couscous from whole foods, tortillas, laughing cow, cherry tomatoes and carrots.
I am not feeling any thinner or anything, but I do feel healthier than when I eat something else. Friday, I woke up late and didn't make anything, so I ate a veggie burger at work. I really like making my lunches (especially when I cook them).
