Does anyone else become addicted to cereal?!?! I think it is one of the main foods that I overeat. In the morning when I am making my breakfast (which is usually an apple or a banana cut up with cottage cheese and cereal) I eat about 1 cup of cereal with the concoction, but then I keep reaching my hand in the box and end up eating probably double that!
At least this is at breakfast so I can just eat a smaller lunch. But what is it about cereal that is so addicting!?!??!

cereal has probably been the hardest thing for me to at least limit from my diet..........no way i could totally not eat it @ all..............but i have switched from the unhealthy choices (frosted flakes, fruit loops, lucky charms.lol) to the healthier high fiber cereals (Kashi, total)............but agreed with you on that....cereal is very addicting, i dont know what it is either!

Mmmm....I love cereal too!! I think breakfast is my fav meal of the day. I like all the hot cereals too like oatmeal and cream of wheat. But at least it's something that is good for you (the healthy ones anyway). I also love ice cream which isn't so good for me, lol.

yeah but at least its ALOT MORE HEALTHY than chips and you (at least i do anyway) eat them like i would eat chips (which, by the way, i have not touched, the potato chips i mean, since like last summer! crazy right?) anyway just make sure you switch to corn flakes or something with a much less sugar & try to look for high fiber & LOW FAT CALORIES of course!) as natural as possible. <333 oh yeah & i really would love to buy a certain brand of corn flakes cereal (you should experiment w/ different brands...maybe "whole foods supermarket" has a really overwhelming selection of cereals as well as brands that are organic. anyway i hate kellogg's corn flakes and i'm trying to find the brand of corn flakes that i found absolutely delicious & only 100 calories and no fat per cup!) Ahhhh stupid kelloggs
