I was thinking this morning that often it's how we start the day that often sets us up for the rest of the day. I've seen a few posts on starting the day out with something sugary, and it's all downhill from there, or craving sugar or sweets during the day, and then not being able to stop eating.

What do you do in the morning to try to set yourself up for a good day? Any ideas would be helpful.

I'll start.

I recently started on Veneflaxine, and it's helped with anxiety, depression and panic attacks, but it's made me want to eat and eat and eat.....as well as constipation (sadly).

I was always an oatmeal eater for breakfast but I stopped that about a year ago. So, this past week I bought steel cut oats and flax seed, cooked up enough for the week, and each morning I have heated it up and ate it first thing (like right now). I add a little bit of brown sugar (less than a tsp for flavour and a pinch of salt). What a difference this is making. It fills you up and lots of fibre, and it's not loaded in sugar. I also have started having a 1/4 orange and 1/4 grapefruit for the sweetness I crave. Seems to be helping me so far.

I'd like to hear what you all are doing.
