When I was working, I found that one of the hardest attractions to fight about eating out at lunch time was the idea of a break from the office. So take your lunch out of the office to a nearby park or wherever you can find that would be a fun public place to eat.
Wraps are great for this purpose. Overcook an amount of chicken earlier for a dinner and set that aside for your lunches. Chop extra veggies when you are chopping any for dinner or salads. Assemble your wrap at your lunch site. The key is to have a really great salad dressing which makes your wrap extra special to drizzle upon as you eat it.
I saw some really cute half trays on clearance at Target that would make great plates for such a lunch. It's really important to have a lunch kit that is functional and also makes you happy. Like a present that you get to unwrap every day at lunch. Keep a blanket/beach towel in your car and you have a nice lunch OUT.
Doesn't have to be every day. Also, a good idea for getting the treat of eating out and still be frugal is to just eat dessert out. Like a happy Friday kind of thing. Especially if you have a friend to split it with you, it'll be easier on your pocketbook and your waistline.
