(LighterLife Management – ongoing)
Breakfast is a girl’s best friend. I have skipped breakfast only a very, very few times this year, and each time I have a) been very very conscious about it throughout the day, b) been starving mid-morning, and c) eaten badly for the rest of the day. Added to that, I feel like I’ve cheated myself somehow, and caught myself doing it.
So I tend to do breakfast these days. I try to have a proper meal for breakfast, in terms of how much I eat (doesn’t mean I have steak!!). I try to have a protein heavy breakfast. I try to balance with good carbs like fruit or berries.
I try to not make excuses. Of course there are time issues – most mornings in fact – but you know what? I am rather late from work than skip my breakfast. THAT’S how committed I am.
I’m not eating an entirely healthy diet at the moment, but even so, keeping to the breakfast routine makes me feel overall better about myself, and helps me not to beat myself up about some other not-so-clever choices around food that I am currently making.
It’s amazing. I never thought breakfast could make such a difference. It is true what ‘they’ say: breakfast does set the tone for the day.
