I think I've found a bit of a secret weapon...

First topic message reminder :

Now don't laugh.  But I have found a lunchbox that is AWESOME!  It has multiple compartments, each about half a cup capacity.  Overpriced for a lunchbox but worth every cent for what it has given me.  The thing that makes this awesome is that it has a single lid with silicone so each compartment is sealed without having umpteen billion different containers to carry around or wash.  Yoghurt etc doesn't leak into the other compartments. 

This lunchbox is a great thing for me, because when it comes to food I am still not organised.  Cutting a few bits of salad etc seems like too much effort, yet preparing a lunchbox (as long as I do the kids' at the same time) somehow seems reasonable.  I am getting so much more variety and healthier foods in, rather than just reaching for optifast which has been my go to til now.  I'm making them for the kids in the holidays too, but more for snacks for them than for lunch.  Saving my sanity from "I'm hungry" yet refusing everything on offer, there is a novelty and fun in it for them in choosing what to put in and what to eat.

Anyway, just thought I'd share given how much I love the drink bottle that LittleMissCee shared :) .

Um, yeah, here is what I am talking about   .

Love, love, LOVE it!  Okay, I'm going to slink away now in embarrassment for how excited I am about a lunchbox lol.

Thankyou so much for posting the lunchbox link Fortunate, I've been looking for a good one to take to uni. This looks perfect :)

Ladies I moved this to the general section... So more people can see.... Oh my word I LOVE that lunch box!

As for the drink bottle... Are you talking about this one that I posted about?

Wenchiepooh, I'm so glad you understand!!  I hope you love yours as much as I do mine <3 .

Jagxclusive, it took me a couple of days to get used to it but I love my drink bottle now.  Lunchbox was love at first sight though lol   .

thanks for sharing, sounds good! I am also thinking of the drink bottle littlemisscee told us about as I'm sick of the crappy plastic taste of mine, and I realize how I need to sip, not gulp, so a normal cup gives me grief.

I now have a girl crush on you fortunate!! You know how you know what you want, but you don't know it until you see it? Yeah, now I see it!! And I just ordered one. I have been looking for the right kind of lunchbox since even before the surgery! Thank you for sharing!
