Default Don't want to eat breakfast!

I guess I am in a rut. I don't necessarily eat breakfast foods for
breakfast and I usually don't eat my breakfast until noon or 1:00. I find I
keep putting it off until later and later because I just don't have the
desire to eat. Yes, I am usually hungry. But nothing sounds good to eat.

For a while I ate toast. But I don't really like toast. Never did. Then I
switched to Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but since it is high in carbs the amount
I could eat of it was very small. I actually got pretty sick of it. I
never really liked cereal but for some reason I found I could eat it and it
didn't bother me. Then I switched to polenta with tomato sauce. But I
guess I got burned out on that.

A couple of times a week I will have cottage cheese but that doesn't seem to
work so well for me. The problem? I need some carbs. Yes there are carbs
in that but seemingly not enough. I try to add a few pretzels or corn chips
but I can never seem to get the right carb count. If I don't get enough
carbs, I spike just as I would with too many carbs. Grrr...

I might eat bacon every once in a while but for the most part I don't like
meat. I don't digest vegetables very well. I can do beans. I have a case
of canned kidney beans. Maybe I'll try eating those. I do digest mashed
potatoes very well but I am getting sick of those because I have them for
dinner or a bedtime snack fairly often.

Ever get into a rut where you just don't want to eat? I know not eating
would be the worst thing for me to do. I do have to take insulin and pills
when I get up.
