We’ve heard it since we were little kids in school. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I certainly agree, even though my actions wouldn’t reflect this. Instead of waking up earlier and fixing myself breakfast, I will wake up late and pick up something at the gas station on my way to work. This normally ends up being a sausage biscuit or Pop-Tarts. On Weight Watchers, you can have “what you want”, you just have to count the points. Pop-Tarts are 9 points for two. A sausage biscuit from the store I go is about 17 points. I’ve read many places that you need to put a good portion of your calories in the morning to get you fueled up for the day. Even though it’s higher in points, neither are truly filling.

Monday night, I decided I was going to start eating more wholesome food, trying to stay as far away from processed and refined foods. I decided to make choices for REAL food, like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads and cereal, and eventually, I want to incorporate organic food as much as possible.

Yesterday, I did great. I had 3 points left at the end of the day, and I wasn’t hungry. This morning, I woke up early to help get my nephew ready for school, so I had extra time. For the first time in months, I made my breakfast at home. It was so much I could barely eat it.

Eggs, scrambled (4)
- with cheese
1 c. milk
2 pieces of toast

Want to guess how much ALL that was? 18 points. All that food that will keep me full for hours instead of a dinky sausage biscuit or Pop-Tarts. Now THAT is the breakfast of champions!
