My life is brilliant, my love is pureI saw an angel, of that I’m sureShe smiled at me on the subwayShe was with another manBut I won’t lose no sleep on that‘Cause I’ve got a plan

What is something you know you should care about, but you simply don’t?

Prompt snagged from: TCMC

Eating breakfast. Yeah, I know—it’s supposed to be the most important meal of the day and all that. But I’m the absolute worst at it. Unless I’ve scheduled a brunch in my calendar, I’m on holiday and it includes free meals at the hotel, or one of my thoughtful colleagues brings something in, I’ll most likely skip breakfast altogether. It’s not intentional—it’s just how I’m wired.

My usual routine includes: I wake up, take my iron supplements with water, wait a couple hours, then drink my coffee so I can function. That’s usually enough to tide me over until lunch. I know, it’s not ideal. But I’ve been this way since I was a kid. Growing up, breakfast wasn’t a big thing in my household. My parents didn’t make us morning meals. Most of the time we went straight from bed to school and just waited until lunch to eat. If we were lucky, Sunday mornings after church meant a rare stop at McDonald’s. Otherwise? My stomach got used to growling a little before noon.

    That’s a nice spread of food with fruit yummy. Hopefully, you got some good energy from that spread.

    Ya, I don’t eat until around 11am usually I think, apple, tea, then maybe one sausage, some beans, and two eggs a little later.😋

    How you don’t feel hungry till noon? If I don’t eat even a little breakfast, I’d feel nauseous.

      I think I’ve been conditioned that way 😆 I am also not a morning person

    JustRojie, I totally get it—some habits stick with us from childhood, and breakfast just doesn’t always make the cut! It’s funny how our bodies adjust to routines over time. That Sunday McDonald’s stop probably felt like a feast back then! At least you’ve got a rhythm that works for you, even if breakfast isn’t a priority. Here’s to functioning well—whether it’s with coffee, brunch, or just making it to lunchtime! Coffee is my morning meal!!

    1. justrojie Avatar

      Thank you so much!! And yes, it’s so interesting how we grow up really shapes us as adults! Coffee ftw!🙌🏻

    That’s cool how you are wired. Do you get heavy dinner or so?

    1. justrojie Avatar

      I try to do a heavier lunch and counter it with coffee 😂
