Do you wait for lunch to eat your ...... lunch
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!

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 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.
