A Mr. Bento is so much more than a thermos. It's going to let me bring tomato soup and grilled cheese to work and keep it nice and hot for me. But more than that, I hope by having miniature meals throughout the day, I can control my appetite, avoid snacking and actually enjoy eating healthy (grilled cheese notwithstanding).
I expect my husband to pick up on my not so subtle hints and get me the Mr. Bento for my birthday, which means pretty soon I can start packing awesome lunches. I had been trying to pack a fresh lunch more - instead of bringing a Lean Cuisine or spending lots of money at the office cafeteria - and have brought several small tupperware containers with me to work already. The Mr. Bento will let me pack everything together and actually keep it warm or cold for me.
Also, there's a whole blog culture of bento eaters I've been following. People who make cute, creative lunches with shapes and colors. I doubt I'll get that creative, but you never know.
Now to plan my first lunch...
