I have been eating oatmeal for breakfast for the last two mornings because my sister said "eat oatmeal even if you have to choke it down. It is good for you. Just do it." I have eaten it before and I quickly get to the point where I start to gag! WHY, OH WHY CAN'T GRITS BE AS GOOD FOR YOU AS OATMEAL??? It's just not fair! It brings back memories of doing the "Mayo diet" where you have to eat certain things in combination to lose 10 lbs in 3 days. One day you have to eat cottage cheese, which absolutely makes me barf. I have blended it, held my nose, chased it with water, everything. I even made my friend Jeanne sick watching me try to eat it and she loves cottage cheese. I feel the same way about beets. Anyway, I'm going to try to keep eating it, but I'm not sure how long I can. Have a great week. Shannon

I wish I could remember where I saw it, but just this week I saw that eating oatmeal can be counter-productive. If you hate it so much that you have to add butter, sugar, etc just to get it down, you can actually be adding fat and calories to your daily routine. I like oatmeal, so I eat it - but life is too short to eat something you hate!
The only good use for oatmeal is in cookies. Definitely NOT as a wet, gloppy, hot cereal. Yuck.
I share your fear of oatmeal. If I put enough brown sugar on it and sprinkle it with some toasted pecans, I can get down a bite or two, but just barely.
