Those In The Green Zone... Do You Eat Breakfast?



Recommended Posts

There have been times in the past seven years when I didnt eat Breakfast - at various times I was tight enough that it was difficult - and I would have a smoothie - vanilla Optifast, banana, Peanut Butter or coffee and walnuts (mmmmm), but generally I have been able to eat breakfast - and want to.

I am not "hungry" in the morning and can easily go without and last till 11 am or so but guaranteed - every time I do it - I end up pigging out on carbs in the afternoon, the craving just appears out of nowhere at around 3 pm and I dont even make it home from work without stopping off for Cookies, muffins, or whatever. My day starts at 5.30 am and I dont get a break from teaching till 11 am recess time, so that's an awfully long time to not eat, what with a run or spin class, getting myself and kids ready for school, getting the house in order and getting to work and teaching for the morning.

I do so, so much better when i eat a good breafast, morning snack and Protein containing lunch - three meals by 2pm and then taper off with a very small dinner.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
