Most days I eat a sandwich for lunch. About once a week, I’ll have soup. Occasionally, I’ll have both, but it’s very rare. Other than the classic grilled cheese with tomato soup, I don’t tend to want both. I like soup, or a sandwich. Both is too much food. Even when I have only a sandwich, it’s almost only a half.
There was a time when I would have gulped them both down, but I was also 350 pounds, too. Now I’ve dropped 100, with maybe 50 more to go, and I’ve totally changed the way I eat. Instead of seeing a hearty lunch of both, I immediately think of which thing can go in the fridge for tomorrow’s lunch.
