I started packing lunches to lose weight, but it's so hard.

I started packing lunches with the mindset that I would really do it right this time to lose weight.

I felt proud for the first few days, but thinking up the menu every day turned out to be more work than I thought.

When I have to rush to get ready in the morning, I have to decide what to pack the day before and rotate ingredients so there are no leftovers, so it actually takes a lot of thinking.

Still, it is good that I can be sure what I am eating, compared to buying just anything outside.

For those of you who have consistently packed lunches while dieting, how did you rotate your menus?

I am looking for a way to maintain my weight for a long time, rather than just eating chicken breast every time.
