In the middle of night, I woke up and I felt HUNGRY. I use capital letters, not because it was a severe hunger, but because it was a sensation I have not felt for a long time! Wow, there is another sensation beyond craving and clock watching (i.e. it's time to eat). I remembered reading long ago that breakfast can be broken down to break fast, as in break the fast you endured since last night.
For many years I ignored breakfast, I'd rather sleep & then rush to get ready and out the door. It's a easy habit to maintain. I've changed that in the past nine months. Perhaps, it because my husband is retired and he's up reading the paper with his breakfast and I want to join him before I head out the door. More likely, I have found that when I do eat breakfast, I like it and I don't have that I-can't-wait-for-lunch "hunger" bugging me.
Remember that old TV commercial with Mikey and the cereal..... try it, he likes it. Breakfast, try it, you'll like it! It's worth the time!

They (whoever THEY are) are pretty smart when they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If I don't eat my high fiber "old lady" cereal, I am starving by 10 a.m., staring longingly at the candy dish and am ready to eat anything (except onions, of course). I bring an apple or banana with me to work and, like all good anal-retentive people, I feel off kilter if I don't have my "10 o'clock banana"! Keep up the good work!
