Nanci! I totally agree with you! Keep on going...do not give up!!
Breakfast is the very thing we need to jumpstart our metabolism. Without we will slowly go through our day. With breakfast it jumpstarts the metabolism and the rest of the day moves quickly and you will feel better. I promise! Find something you enjoy eating like a fruit, some protein (cheese, egg, anything protein) maybe some grains (like oatmeal or a high fiber cereal). It will suprise you how much better you will feel if you eat breakfast. You will be hungry by lunch but that is a good thing. Same with dinner. Doing that plus drinking the water and you will be surprised how much weight you begin to lose.
