Breakfast Cereal - no no...how I avoid it

[feelincheesy 11]

So my kids love their Cereal, as did I. One is still under 2 and the other is a thin 5 1/2 year old. My husband has not an ounce to lose.

Ok, there's the history.

We used to buy our milk at costco - 2 gallons of 1% and 2 gallons of whole milk. We'd eat Cereal with the 1% and the boys would eat cereal with the whole milk. Well, as I'm on the pre-pre op diet (not liquid), I'm cutting out a ton of crap - including my beloved Breakfast cereal. I was feeling especially weak this week and REALLY wanted a bowl of those alluring Lucky Charms. I WAS going to have a bowl...then I realized I had made a change I didn't even really realize...I only had whole milk in the house. I'm not drinking milk anymore so I stopped buying the 1% and all the guys eat/drink whole milk now. Although the Lucky Charms would have been great - there was NO WAY I was going to eat them with whole milk - I might as well eat a pound of butter - that stuff is so loaded in fat and calories AND I couldn't eat them dry - wouldn't have the same effect. And so, unbeknownst to myself, I set myself up for success. No milk = no cereal! :tongue2:
