As the title says, do you wait ?

I work in a small office, and people here start munching their lunch from about 10am !!! The trouble is, it makes me hungry then, so i raid my sarnies early, and then im starving come 3pm.

I know in my previous job i would wait until lunchtime as i never brought food into work with me. So i had to physically go out and buy it. But now i bring in a packed lunch - and its very tempting when its sat in the fridge not to dive in early.

I very rarely wait until lunchtime.

I bring my packed lunch in and put it in the fridge and then eat it during the morning. More out of boredom than anything!

Depends what on really!! Choccie and crisps are not great. Fruit and yoghurt are fine

I try to wait until 1pm / 1.30pm and then I am fine until about 4pm when I'll have a yoghurt and I last until 8pm when I have dinner

I used to eat my lunch by about 10!
I wait til lunchtime in my current job as lunchtime \'time\' is kind of set in stone so it would be inappropriate to eat whilst everyone else isn\'t, plus it\'s a small open plan office so don\'t want to stink the place out. Eating at desks is tacitly frowned upon.

I try to wait til after 2 to have lunch because I get back from work late and know I can't cook until after 9 usually - I use coffee as an appetite suppresant in between!

this suggests to me that you and colleagues aren't working hard enough, if food is always on your minds

I always eat mine way before lunchtime! Usually around 11 - sometimes 10.30 but I do get up at 6.30am and in at work at 7:30am. I also have a very early dinner - usually 5:30 - 6pm and I don't normally eat anything after 7pm, so eating lunch early fits into my routine

I never eat my lunch early - anything between 9.00am and 11.30am is a tea-break

I don't eat my lunch early otherwise i'd be attacking the vending machine in the afternoon. I take fruit to work to snack on in the morning (i'm up at 6am) and i always eat a banana late afternoon so that by the time i've driven home (about an hour) i'm not diving into the kids snack box.

I have to since I'm at school.

I have some fruit at break time though, so I'm not hungry in lessons.
