My "Five" Course Breakfasts

No on ever says this, but, sometimes I wish I lived in China. Why would I want to live in China (aside from the fact they actually make their own products)? Simple. They have a law where a couple can only have one kid. Meaning: no siblings. This morning, like every morning, my brother wanted to get out of the house early to be at school a half hour before school even starts. Who does that? I wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that I'm an overachiever (overachievers make it harder for all us normal people). My brother gets angry when I eat breakfast because, according to him, I take to long eating a "five" course breakfast. Today, I had a half a grapefruit and a piece of toast. How is that five course? Where is the bacon, eggs, sausage and pancakes? What he really means is that since I'm the only one in the house who actually eats breakfast that I shouldn't eat. The problem is I love breakfast--the breakfast commercial on TV always makes me dance (it has spoons, forks, and plates dancing and singing about the wonders of breakfast). I would like to point out that it is absolutely none of my brother's business what I eat or don't eat in the morning. I need to give my metabolism a boost in the morning. If I don't I would be the same as every other--excuse the stereotype--girl trying to lose weight by not eating the most amazing meal of the day.

  3. Mr. Bower has a quote on his board today (it's actually his own): Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a princess, and dinner like a college student with a maxed-out credit card.

    I think you are on to something, Liv. Besides, we use most of our calories during the day, so fueling up in the A.M. is sensible!!
