identity crisis.

i don't know who i am anymore.

today, not only did i enjoy my cereal, i actually drank milk from my bowl after the cereal was gone.

i am not a breakfast person. but i've been trying to become one because i'd like to be healthier. normally i eat a yogurt or toast for breakfast. not bad, but not great.

so i began the weaning process with this....


(about as non-healthy as you can get for cereal)
and quickly learned the error of my ways. there is still a half a box up in my cupboard of this sugary stuff.

and am now up to this...


(getting better, but every bite has to have a raisin or else i get ticked)


and am slowly (but surely) working my way up to this...

(still makes me dry heave when i even look at the picture)


this is a lofty goal. anyone who knows me well knows that i have had an aversion to oatmeal since i was a wee lass. my poor mother endured many a rough morning dealing with a stubborn, refusing child.

cross your fingers that i can get to the new me. 2009. a year should be enough time, right?

I LOVE oatmeal...but I understand your aversion to it as I have a texture sensitive child who really has a hard time with it. Good luck! I salute you trying to get healthier....I'm going to try to join you. I actually eat plenty of really healthy food....I just eat a bunch of junk in addition to it!

Bring on those lucky charms! Do you save the marshmallows for last? :) Good luck getting to oatmeal, try lots of toppings..brn sugar, raisins, syrup. My husband likes to put milk in his but I don't do that, I just like it creamy not clumpy.

a spoonful of brown sugar and PEANUT BUTTER will have you falling in love with oatmeal before you know it!
