love the wang

i hate breakfast. i LOVE breakfast food, but i hate breakfast. it’s one of those meals where you don’t have time to sit down and ENJOY your food, and even if you do, it’s like lunch is right around the corner, so why bother?

in college, i could count with one hand how many times i actually ate breakfast, it was such an expendable meal. (we’re obviously not counting the times when I’m eating a grand slam at 5am after a frat party.) but again, as age has a great sense of humor, i can no longer function when hungry. truthfully, i get something like a hunger tremor where my hands start to shake if my sugar level is too low. it’s generic, so thanks dad!

i’m a savory breakfast eater. there’s nothing more comforting than a good salty Italian frittata or chili cheese omelets to say to my tummy “rise and shine!” the exception is side street café’s extraordinary sweet, fluffy, french toast, which i eat once a week at the minimum (shut up wobbly thighs!) but really, even with my leisurely schedule, who the heck has the time to SIT DOWN and eat this stuff during the weekdays?

when i worked 9-5, i tried every solutions to the breakfast dilemma: cereal, toast, pop-tarts, yogurt and granola, smoothies- all of which had me STARVING by 10:30. sometimes, i did the “eat my dinner leftovers for breakfast” thing, only to end up screaming at every co-worker that walked by “YES, I’m eating a t-bone for breakfast! STOP STARING!”

now, i have a more leisurely morning schedule, but i mean really? am i going to dirty 4 pots and pans just to get some hash browns? so recently, i checked those Jimmy Dean breakfast croissant sandwiches (they looked really good and the commercials are really damn cute,) but the “lite” version holds 12 grams of FAT, 18% of your daily intake and that’s if you eat 2000 calories a day, which most of us are trying to AVOID.

OH, and what about those people who work out IN THE MORNING? (you’re sick, i tell you, SICK) what the heck are you people eating that’s not causing you to throw up? because it’s impossible that you’re not eating before your workout!? i get hungry just holding up my SoniCare in the morning!

so friends, share the breakfast secret. what do you like to eat for breakfast? end up eating? and what’s your solution to the ever-enigmatic dilemma? because at this rate, i’m pretty much open to just sleeping until noon and eating lunch to start the day.

(ps. i find that my writing skills are on the decline and it’s getting harder and harder for me to compose my thoughts in an organized and concise matter; therefore, i am trying to post more in an effort to hone those skills. i apologize if any post finds you asleep or 10 IQ points dumber after reading.)
