Had a reuben omlette on Friday, some people might not like it, but they make the corned beef in house, and it was amazing

You guys "rut" guys like me? Like the same thing for lunch day in and day out?
I found myself spending $10+ a day on lunch, on greasy burgers and chicken wings, and the weight just packed on. I realized how unimportant lunch really is. So I go to Kroger, make a spinach and chicken salad (not too far from the one Miz just posted) and eat outside in the sun. Of course all the smoking hot paralegals that eat outside has nothing to do with it.
Anyways, I've lost a ton of weight and this was one of the few things I changed. And now when I can't make it to Kroger for my salad I feel empty. Well, until I go get a vegetarian fajita bowl from Chipotle. Then I feel full again. :P

Needs a 930
Switching from burgers and tacos to lettuce wraps and bacon salads has helped me lose 20+ lbs this year
All those sandwiches could still get in this belly. I don't discriminate

Larry's Giant Sub large chicken salad sandwich.

Best part was getting my boss' boss to buy it simply by asking to take a ride in his Tesla Model S.

For those of you that eat healthy like salad and stuff - does that really fill you up? If I ate a salad I would be starving in like 15 minutes. Also what do you drink with your salad? Water?

When I ate salads I had to have protein with it, chicken or beef.
If I ate at 1pm id go hungry about 5pm or so.

A big green salad usually tides me over for about 2-2.5 hours. Right about the time to grab a mid-afternoon snack.
Adding a protein will take it another hour or so. Usually just do that for a dinner salad.
Oh, and yeah, drink water. And then more water. And later on... Yep; more water.

I don't know why but I just hate drinking water. I love soda and trying to find a way to switch to something that's better for me but water just doesn't cut for whatever reason.

Iced Tea?
I cut soda and started on tea when I feel like some flavor. Always with the unsweetened though, because that's as much of a gutbomb as soda.
It's all about breaking the cycle. Your body is dependent (addicted?) on the sugar in the sodas and essentially goes through mini-withdrawals when it doesn't get a fix.
That and the Pavlovian response to "going to eat - need a soda" will keep your intake up to potentially unhealthy, or at least less-healthy, levels.
I'll grab a soda every once in a while, typically when carb-loading, and it's sooo sweet tasting. Like sickly sweet.
Try tea if you can. Add sweetener if you need to at first and try metering it out over time.

Yup I've stopped drinking soda for almost 4 years now.
When ever I do drink it on its own, I'm like "got damn that's soooooo sweet"
Followed by it giving me the runs
the only occasion I'll drink soda now is if it's mixed into a cocktail.

Drink more water, it helps fill you up, also protein on salad is important, chicken or tuna are my go to's on salad

Also, have you tried adding lemon or lime to your water (or tea)? I drink a lot of water, but don't always like the taste, depending on the source. A little citrus can do wonders.

Could be nicer looking but we recently bought the Breville Pizzaiolo Smart Oven (indoors) to make wood-oven-styled pizza...pretty good. Tastes alot better than it looks...
Anyways, lunch.

That looks great! If you didn't tell me it was homemade I would believe you.
