I have to admit it I am a serial (or cereal if you want to be punny) breakfast skipper. It is not that I don't like eating breakfast, but it always seems that I do not have enough time in the morning to eat breakfast, and before I know it I am at work doing my job. It doesn't affect my work in any way. I have tested this hypothesis by eating breakfast and comparing the productivity of both eating and non-eating work days and there was no difference. The biggest difference for me is that if I eat breakfast, when the clock hits around 9 am, I become savagely hungry. I mean that I could eat someone's arm off and be okay with that action. This is what happens when I eat breakfast; when I miss breakfast, I do not need to eat until noon.
So what this is saying to me, what it is that this is screaming at me; I may have a problem.
Being a person who is not the weight or size that I should be, having an irregular eating schedule is causing all sorts of grief to my metabolism. I do not know when I am supposed to be hungry and on the flip side when it is I am supposed to be full. It sucks; and it is a great way to overeat.
The good thing is that I have been able to intellectualize that I need to eat breakfast every day, regardless of the discomfort that I feel mid-morning being hungry again. At least I can feel hungry and I haven't destroyed my metabolism completely.
I have to admit, when I do eat breakfast I do have more energy throughout the day and I sleep much better that evening. So for today, I am going to be happy about breakfast.
:o) mmmm...time to eat!
