I was in Portland all day for a training session at work. We had an hour and a half break for lunch, and everyone–I mean EVERYONE–left to walk across the street to get fast food. I had brought a packed lunch, and though I did consider eating out with my coworkers anyway, I ultimately chose to stay behind and stick with my healthy meal. I’m so glad I did! My food was delicious and I know I would have felt terrible if I’d given in and gone with everyone. Plus, I had the entire auditorium (with cushy stadium seats) to myself, so I spread out, and read a good book with my lunch for an hour and a half.
