Trying to get an appetite for breakfast

I know, I know. It's all been said before by people such as my mom and experts. You need to eat breakfast, period.

Okay. But suppose that I don't have an appetite to eat anything early in the morning. Nothing tastes good. Nothing looks good, especially in the early morning hours. I can eat something, although I won't really enjoy it during that time, such as oatmeal, toast, coffee and a fresh orange. Oatmeal, by the way, is very filling and satisfying right through lunch time, though not much after. Appetite seems to surge around 2 or 3 pm and by then, everything looks good.

So what have I been doing about breakfast?

I've been trying to vary it. That is, I'll cook eggs or sausages or even oatmeal, rather than settle for a buttered roll and coffee, or even worse, a piece of pastry and coffee. At least, I am satisfied for a much longer time than I would be with a buttered roll or pastry.

So far, it's working. I've had sausages for breakfast yesterday and this morning and experienced no hunger pangs until 2 or 3 pm. Not bad, eh? Tomorrow morning, of course, there will be no sausages for breakfast, as I've eaten them all. I'll probably have to settle for oatmeal and black coffee and fresh grapefruit. Now if those foods motivate me to get out of bed tomorrow morning and feast on them, I will be very surprised. There are no rolls, waffles or loaves of bread, only a few rather stale packaged bagels. Ugh!
