Breakfast the most important meal of the day

We have all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right. Well for me it's becoming the most difficult to swallow. Literally. I'm not sure if it's because the muscles in my throat or stomach tighten up or what but food is hard to swallow first thing in the morning.

This morning I made myself some scrambled EggBeaters and diced ham. I took a few bites ( probably bigger than should have been) and chewed it up really good (so I thought). Well it came back up with a vengeance! So now what do I eat? Ok, cottage cheese is soft. I got the same feeling from a few bites of that. Now granted my throat is goofy from the upheaval but I wasn't going to take any chances. I stopped eating for awhile to let everything settle down.

I ended up eating some of the soup I made the other day, the spinach soup. Oh it's so good, which is a good thing too because it was the only thing going down and staying down this morning.

So now the hunt begins on things I can eat for breakfast and how slow I have to eat to try them. I am actually starting to not CRAVE food so much any more. Is that a good thing? I'm not sure....the jury is still out on that one.
