Do You eat Breakfast or Not?

@Paladin1950
Of course daily when young tho by late teens i was rarely hungry before midday. For several years i rarely broke the overnight fast till i was hungry.

I had some gestational blood sugar issue while pregnant with my twins, and did eat at least 3 meals daily for duration of pregnancy. It cleared up after delivery but i continued that for the couple of months i was breast feeding. After that even tho i would stay up after their 4:30a.m. feeding just to have some solitude before husband got up for work and i made his breakfast, i generally didn't eat until he'd left and the boys had their next feeding.

By the time the boys were 4 i was back to my first meal of the day being closer to midday than morning. The June they turned 8 i was 6 months pregnant with daughter and had been eating breakfast at generally accepted time for it, but still got diagnosed with gestational diabetes. If i didn't eat nutritionally sound food shortly after rising and at least two other meals daily my body punished me. So in a way my kids 'made' me a breakfast eater again.

While i've kept my glucose levels under control since then thru sensible consumption breakfast has become something of a habit. So even 13 years after retiring i do have it. However, i generally don't eat until hungry (by 9 most days) unless have heavy chores planned then eat high protein breakfast instead of cereal.
 

Absolutely. I love breakfast, it's my favorite meal of the day. I like almost anything with eggs, I always start off with grapefruit, or if I've run out, some fruit juice, maybe toast or a muffin, and always coffee. And about once a week, waffles and bacon. I also love blueberry pancakes but rarely make them, as there's no easy way to make a portion for one person, and I don't want to throw out the extra, or have to eat the same thing for 3 days.

I am not crazy about cereal, but have that once a week if I have fresh fruit to add to it.

I can't imagine skipping breakfast. It's one of the joys of life.
 
When employed used to get up 5am(ish), walk dog, see to child, depending on her age take her to nursery/schooI, then make 2 slices of toast and eat it driving to work which was about 8.30am.

Now retired, first port of call is a cuppa cha (tea) immediately after first visit loo, usually followed by another cuppa after completion of ablutions and second vist loo. ;)

Breakfast is anytime after 12noon or onwards (today it was after 2pm), which is porridge.
Always the same because my body seems to need the bulk and stodginess, or I get iffy.
My porridge is made with soya milk, frozen blueberries and/or other frozen fruit, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
Followed by another cuppa.
Yum.

Breakfast is most often the largest or only 'proper' meal of the day I have. I'm not that much into food anymore, it's become a chore.
 

I take thyroid medicine early then wait at least an hour and take pantoprazole and wait another hour before I can eat. So breakfast becomes brunch or lunch. I lost a little weight.

No. And Ive been tested officially and unofficially by my relatives.
There are diabetics in my family. When I was young and thin I had the metabolism of a teenage boy.
I ate constantly and had desert with every meal. Jealous people in my family would pick me to see why my blood sugar wasnt spiking. :D

If I dont eat I get a headache. If I wait too long I get light headed. This doesnt happen often now cause Im retired.
I thought maybe I might be turning diabetic since Ive gained some weight but the doctor says no Im fine.
 
Yes. I keep mine simple - 2 slices of toast and juice. I tried eating a heavier breakfast (porridge) and that did not agree with me.
