Start The Day Off Right

How often have I heard, start the day off right, eat breakfast. This has been the very best advise I have ever gotten and not listened to. I have never been able to rise in the am and feel to eat anything at all, not even drink water. Well as you already know I have had major health issues mainly due to poor eating habits. How did this change in my life?

My life took a major change for the worst when I reach 350 lbs of woman! All the illnesses that came along with obesity, I developed. I did avert diabetes, only through a drastic move, gastric bypass surgery. It's been three years since my surgery and I am happy to say that I am 200 lbs down and maintaining my weight loss. How am I doing this?

I have learned to listen to persons who really get the point that to loss weight involves more than pushing yourself away from the table and exercising until you are blue in the face. I have found through my surgery and the support network in place in my life that I have a emotional eating compulsion. This compulsion is not about being greedy and lazy as so many uninformed persons, even in the medical field, believe. This compulsion is about anger, loneliness, sadness, feeling helpless and not loved, to mention only a few issues I contend with on a daily basis.

I am still re-adjusting my attitude about food and the decision to start my day off right by having breakfast. I never knew just how vital this one point would become in my life. Since my surgery I find it positively necessary to have breakfast in order to feel good, love myself and help keep my compulsion from taking over at some time during the day or I should say night, that's when my biggest fight begins. So what can I eat for breakfast and how do I avoid the boredom of breakfast food?

I have come to realize that breakfast means to break the fast of the non eating period from last night till the morning. Breakfast does not mean a certain type of food, such as beacon and eggs or waffles and eggs but can be whatever I enjoy at that time as long as it will properly nourish my body and soul. So there is no strict rule as to traditional breakfast food, Happy Days! So great is my freedom to choose my style of breakfast that I truly do look forward starting my day off right.

This morning I feel like eating brown rice and curry chicken, last nights dinner, Yum Yum! This is a wonderful dish, requiring only two pots. One for the savory brown rice, I got the free recipe on www.Kitchensavvyplus.com, check it out, and one great non stick pan for the chicken. The curry chicken recipe will be available in the cookbook I am in the process of writing. Ask some of my friends how good that dish is. Anyhow the point I'm making is eat what you enjoy and start your day off right. To alleviate the boredom of food selection I try many new recipes. I love cooking and search for free recipes. The Internet is a great source for such. I have gotten some great ideas and with some tweaking I am sure you can also enjoy starting your day off right.

OFF TO HAVE BREAKFAST, I AM CARING FOR ME TODAY!
