So.
yep two handfuls of peanut m&ms for breakfast this morning, with coffee.
sometimes it is good to be the
grown up so you can be like a kid!

anyone out there have some real immature moments lately! Lets justify ourselves knowing others are with us in our silliness!
 
Yesterday I had a couple of my homemade oatmeal cookies before anything else. An hour later I still had my usual egg burrito though, because I was hungry. :giggle

I almost always have pumpkin pie for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving. Lots of times I'll have sweets for breakfast. For a while about two years ago, after my Saturday morning walks, I would go grocery shopping, first stopping at the bakery for a donut. (I don't usually eat breakfast before going on my Saturday morning walks.)

If I do have a sweet breakfast, though, I know I'll be hungry earlier for my next meal. I learned in late high school and early college that my body wants protein in the morning. Twice back then I fainted after having eaten little or nothing for breakfast. The first time it happened I was making cookies in my kitchen and my mom was out of the house; fortunately the water delivery man came by at just the right time! The second time it happened I was at work in a department store before it opened, just straightening up the clothes racks. I feel best when I have protein for breakfast and almost every day now I eat scrambled eggs and veggies.

But I love sugar too, and I totally think it's wonderful to have in the morning. And your peanut M&M's even have some protein in them :) That's what I told myself about my oatmeal cookies yesterday -- the oats, raisins, and nuts in the cookies are nutritious! :D
 
I'm here for sweets for breakfast. LOL

I love pancakes, waffles, cinnamon rolls etc.

I also have a piece of bday cake for breakfast after my birthday always, it's like my own tradition. ROFL
 
I was just contemplating opening a box of Mike & Ike's on my desk. Also, I've been known to dip marshmallows in peanut butter & mini chocolate chips. It might be my favorite guilty pleasure.
 
I love sweets and I'm mindful of how much I'm eating... but don't usually stop myself from cravings. I would eat more if I tried to resist the craving. I may try to push the craving to one of my meal times, so I don't snack so much in between. I work better that way.... :)

BUT... I learned this from my grandmother. :giggle

She eats 2 Milano cookies, and a small glass of coke every morning for breakfast! (She is 97 years old and a hoot!)


oh... I eat a light breakfast sandwich (like a Special K sandwich) and yogurt for breakfast, usually.

how can she stop at 2!!!? I LOVE those cookies!

I've been known to have some diet coke before anything else................... trying so hard to cut that out of my diet!
 
i had a moment of weakness this week... my son and i stopped into carvel for a sundae on a whim. it was totally a craving i was having and my fault. it had been a long long time since i had ice cream though .... and it was SOOO good.

It's a mental thing.... and I get it from her. (We are a bit odd, lol!) :giggle Once you have your two, then you have to mentally cut yourself off from the temptation. After time, you get used to it. Plus, knowing that you will have two tomorrow really helps. I LOVE soda... Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi... but I cannot have it until I satisfy my water quota for the day. It's a mental thing.

I'm also one of those people that won't open something unless all the other open similar kinds of food are finished. So... if there are sour cream and onion chips in our cupboard I want, BUT there are pretzels open in the same cupboard, I won't open the chips until the pretzels are gone. Most time than not, I won't finish the pretzels either... I will wait for someone else to finish them. That not open thing also kills cravings fast since I won't open the new bag.

I am so weird after re-reading this.

Not weird! Great you found what works for you!

For me, if I want to avoid eating something it has to not be in the house. So the thing that works best for me is to not buy the tempting foods. My weakness is potato chips and I buy them only 2 or 3 times a month, usually. I'm going to be eating so much less sugar when my oldest daughter moves out because she loves to bake and does it too often! :) We come up with reasons to bake ranging from actors' birthdays to those strange holidays like National Shoelace Day or whatever (I made that up, though I wouldn't be surprised if it exists; have you ever seen those lists of silly holidays?).
 
Back in the day when I could eat anything I wanted, it would be cold pizza for breakfast. Now, with my restricted diet, it's usually the same thing. Either gluten-free steel cut oatmeal with dried cranberries, hemp hearts and a super seed blend, or a smoothie made of peaches and bananas, with additions of GF oats, chia, locally produced raw honey, coconut water and rice milk. It may would boring, but it's almost my lifeline these days. When I don't have it I feel incredibly sluggish.

But when we were in Sweden I fell in love with their breakfasts there: smoked salmon, cheeses & yogurts (mine lactose free), breads and crackers (mine were GF), fruits, fish, herrings & caviars, juices... it was amazing.
 
not the norm but we made churros after school the other day (b/cos we were sad and since they started selling hotcross buns (easter buns) right after xmas and we caved mid Jan and started buying them and we've become sugary dough addicts again but didn't have any in the house). DS goes thru stages where he just doesnt feel like chocolate, and DH just has 1 square of dark choc at nite for 'health benefits' and never more, i'll never understand boys
 
Peanut M&M's are very much a breakfast food I'm sure. And I've considered stopping for cake pops ever since the chat with Anne. So much for going low carb.
 
Birthday cake is great, actually any cake in the house is fair game for me for breakfast. Yesterday it was cheesecake - which has protein. Hot cross buns are also fabulous. With the heat now I seldom eat anything before ten, but then when I am ravenous, anything is allowed.
 
My mom made a centerpiece for her dining room table by filling up three miniature Ball jars with Valentine's M'n'Ms for her three grandchildren. They got to take them home this past Thursday.

I put the kids to bed & promptly ate all of my 2yo's... and then made my 7yo and 2yo split hers for their snack after school the next day.
