This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Apparently a lot of people don't eat breakfast when they first wake up. I don't, because my body isn't hungry when I first wake up; it takes an hour or two before I can actually feel like I'm ready to eat something. And I don't like forcing myself to eat when I'm not hungry because I just feel like shit.

Also I've been working on eating slower so I'm not just wolfing everything down and taking massive bites. It can take me upwards of 30 minutes to eat a bowl of cereal.

Yep, I used to be that way (I'm hypoglycemic, meaning blood sugar is stable then drops very suddenly, so I'm not hungry and then I'm starving).

I found just getting into a morning routine of making breakfast helps - but not immediately after getting up. Water, then coffee - takes me about an hour to be ready for food. So I just get up earlier.

It's that or be starving later, which isn't going to work for me.

Figuring out what works for you is key.

Same. When my husband is home he makes me a coffee in the morning. Otherwise i just have a water. Nothing sounds good until I've been up for a couple of hours.
