However, I just use 1/4 c, maybe even a little less. I also on occassion eat Cheerios. I love them. I will buy a box, maybe eat 2 bowls over the course of a couple days, then the box sits for a week.
So you get a bit more "milk" when eating cold cereal. Since you can eat oats, maybe you could combine a few different kinds, just have it as a cold cereal, mix in the banana. Might be more nutritious than the cold cereal & keep you full longer?
I used to use Rice Milk all the time on my cereal, but blah, it is gross & soy milk has a funny smell. So I have settled on the almond milk. It sort of has no flavor but it doesn't have an aftertaste or smell either.
I also love hash browns in the am. They just dont stay with me as long.

I am rooting for you, too. And I am with Broadbean, I enjoy your posts & your honesty.
About the cherries, I use frozen ones, just mix up my oatmeal, water & then add the cherries. Microwave for 3.20 min., add the almond milk & it tastes great.

He's not really a puppy anymore, though. He's more like a teenager! So I've got my hands full with him, my adult children who call me everyday about their problems and caring for my elderly mother. My husband said I shouldn't have gotten the dog, but I just needed to do something for myself and so Beau the Basset is a little present I gave myself--even if he is a lot of work. We go on nice long walks everyday which gets me out of the house and exercising!

GJ-Beau is very cute. He looks like he needs just a little weight on him. He will make a great walking partner. Dont know if you have ever had a dog before, but crates are great to help with h.breaking. I will put them in it with a cookie or I might feed them in it, then start closing the door for a just a few minutes so it is a happy place. It is a great place for him to sleep or be when you go out. He should have a schedule, especially now, while he is still adjusting to a new routine. Do you know what his story was? If it was me, I would take him out every hour during the day, on the leash so he learns to do his business & not just run around sniffing & keep him with me all the time when he is inside. Dont let him have the run of the house, at least until he is housetrained. I assume he is neutered so hopefully he wont be marking.
I am glad that you have treated yourself well & he will have a good home. Hopefully your husband will warm up to him in time.
