Cereal, how do I love thee?

So, I know I said before in past posts that I had given up cereal. But I love cereal.
I love cereal, yes I do. I love cereal, how about you? That's a little something funny I like say. Anywho, I started eating cereal again even though it was against my best judgement. And I decided that I should tell you my favorite cereals. Just because I'm fun that way.
Well, the top of the list is Cookie Crisp of course.Cookies and mild in a bowl. How can that be bad? And in no particular order after that is Chocolate Cheerios, Apple Jacks, Honeycomb, and Cocoa Pebbles. Honorable mention going to anything in the Chex family.
And of course too many others to mention every one. 
They were each and everyone loaded down with sugar and lots of other things that I should definitely not be eating.
Oh, and I use unsweetened almond milk on top. Which has less sugar and calories, but has more sodium. And since recently I have developed a sensitivity to Salt it turns out that that's not doing me any favors at all.
There are also some cereals that I will not eat. Sugar bears. They got too soggy in the milk.  Grape nuts. What is that really? Kind of tastes like rocks in my opinion. Any kind of grits, or Malt-O-Meal, and oatmeal is kind of maybe yes maybe no. It all has to do with texture, consistency, and how long it's going to take me to make it. Mornings are not the time to cook an in depth meal.
But sadly, I'm going to have to give it up again. Because the waistline just seems to keep expanding. And I know that these things are not helping me no matter how much I enjoy them.
So as soon as my last gallon of milk is gone. I will be giving up my cereal again. At least for now. It was certainly fun while it lasted. I think it reminded me of how much fun it was opening a box of cereal when I was a kid. Me with my big Jethro bowl of cereal and enjoying my chocolate flavored milk after the cereal was gone.
It is no wonder that I am such an unhealthy person. Because I love food. No surprise revelations there, eh?
But if you enjoy cereal and you have any kind of self-control, I do recommend enjoying your cereal in the morning or whatever time of day you like to eat it because it does taste good. Just not the whole box at once.
Until next time,
eat well.
