Greatly though I have always admired the lifestyle of the Hobbits of the Shire, I have never gone so far as to indulge in the practice of "second breakfast" until just now.
I get up at 0400 (I used to get up along with Kathe at 0345, but that tended to interfere with her getting ready for her paper route), eat a half-sandwich and drink coffee, and cross town to my parents' new place. I assist my father as best I am able (the last few days, I have just been giving him a bed bath and putting socks on him, because he hasn't been up for getting out of bed), and go home to get in bed with Kathe (who is usually home by then) at about 0630. We get up about 0830 or so and have (second) breakfast together -- usually for me, another half-sandwich.
Small as they are, that does still mean adding another meal to the day. My weight is probably going up. I haven't been checking lately. Too much else to worry about.

They say several small meals are better for you than three large ones, so view this as an opportunity. I recommend that you change what you're eating. One of those breakfasts could be just an egg or a raw fruit, for example. You do want a complex carb to start the day with, but it could be something with more nutritional punch than the bread in the half-sandwich.
Peni: Good point. And seeing as how I am looking at a bowl of apples right now....
