Does that make more sense?

Ah! It does. Sorry if I sounded harsh, I panicked. As a non-breakfast person, if someone had forced food on me it would just come right back up.
totally agree that breakfast doesn't have to be traditional breakfast foods, yup.

Hugs!

No problem. I am not a huge fan of breakfast food either. I like Luna bars and peanut butter toast.

You could cut up some apples and put in a bag for her to take to school. That way if she gets hungry she can eat them in between class. My favorite was toast and a slice of cheese. How about a fruit smoothie?

Even though she is a gymnast and in great condition, weight can still be an issue.

I never ate breakfast in my twenties. I asked my doctor about it and he said don't worry about it. Just eat when you are hungry.

I'd see if a smoothie would work. I cannot eat when I first get up and tend to like something other that traditional breakfast food.

If she is having to get up earlier than last year or school starts earlier this may throw her off and she truly isn't hungry when she is headed out the door. I do agree with McD though........in that throwing out food isn't a good answer nor feeding the dog. Food is just too expensive.

I'd also wonder if she had a run in with some one and just doesn't want to tell you and she is just kind of to knotted up in the morning to eat. I guess if it were me I would ask when she thinks will work to at least have something in the morning if possible and if she flat out refuses then I'd probably let her go with her own instinct for a while and see what happens.

Give me those idea's people.... either that or please switch places with me until she's out of High School! (j/k)

HA! And you thought it was all good and easy after she got potty trained! SURPRISE!!! LOL!

But hang in there KimZ! This too will pass, and oddly enough be among the times that will be missed. Crazy, isn't it? But that's a mom for you.

Hugs!

btw, i love the smoothie idea. even if she can't eat, she'll pack in plenty of nutrition with it. and you don't HAVE to be hungry to manage to drink something, kwim?

Kim, when my DD starts to get around her TOM, she is always not hungry when she first gets up. Says it makes her feel nauseous - and she's 22! Maybe one of them carnation breakfast shakes might help.
