Are you a breakfast eater or a breakfast skipper? [View all]

I am a breakfast skipper. Can’t stand the thought of eating a whole meal immediately after waking up, it would literally make me sick. I only want coffee. I don’t think about food till maybe 11:00, then I want to eat right away! I hate having an early appointment or trip to make when I won’t have access to food for a long time, yet I just can’t make myself eat right after getting up, either. If I have to I can choke down a small yogurt or a small granola bar but I have to force it down. Yuck.

Mr. Diamond, OTOH, must eat something right after rolling out of bed. He eats healthy stuff but he can eat a lot of it (and he’s been a thin person his whole life). I just marvel at the size of his breakfast. I almost get a stomach ache just thinking about it.

Also, I can be extremely hungry, …. famished …..but I get about 1/3 of the way through a sandwich but then all of a sudden I’m so full I feel like I’m too full and about to burst. What’s up with that! Why is figuring out what and when to eat such a pain! Lol. First world problems, for sure.
