I have to admit at being horrible about breakfast.
I know how important it is, and I know I feel much better when I have one. I don't snack as much and I can concentrate more (which is important with my ADD).
And yet....
I hate the routine of breakfast. I hate that there is something that stops me from getting my day started. When I wake up, I'm interested in doing whatever it is that I have to do that day, and sometimes it seems like getting breakfast, showering, getting dressed and doing morning chores are all just in a big conspiracy to keep me away from the good stuff!
This means that getting cereal and milk is quite a concession for me. Oatmeal? I love it, but it requires more steps and therefore throws me off. Eggs? Ewwwww. (I never liked eggs, and my mom never believed me. "Eggs?" she'd say. "Everyone likes eggs!") Toast? I love it too, but it sticks with me for about 15 minutes. Sadly, things like Pop-Tarts (I know, I know) are appealing because (a) it's grab-and-go and (b) (I know, I know) it's sweet.
Right now I'm doing well with some Quaker Oats and Honey granola, which also has almonds and raisins in it, and I use soy millk on it. It's a pretty good compromise for me, so I'll probably stick with it for awhile. But I totally admire you breakfast-eaters. I know it's something I should be better at, but it just doesn't come naturally.
