Golden Diet

I love cereal, and I am always very pleased to have it.

I will eat almost any cereal. Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Corn Pops, you name it. I go coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs. 

Two weeks ago, my mom sent me to Aldi to buy groceries, with her credit card, mind you. After spending an hour trying to find everything and running back and forth through the store, I asked permission from my mom to buy some cereals. Of course, I picked up cheaper ones (good prices are around 11 to 16 cents per ounce), including the knockoff cereals like Cinnamon Crunch Squares. The name brand cereals are more expensive, and one in particular that I really like, Reese's Peanut Butter Cocoa Puffs, is 21 cents per ounce, so I hold back from buying that.

When buying, I get four cereal boxes. knockoff Frosted Flakes, Cinnamon Crunch Squares, Cocoa Rice (Cocoa Pebbles discount), and Fruit Rounds (Fruit loops alternative).

About two weeks ago was the first time I had cereal in months! Before that, I was having withdrawal. Every night I would open the fridge and find the milk, then full of hope I would search the pantry for cereal, but I would go away ears drooping in sadness, disappointment and pain. 

 I was so happy, and I attacked the box immediately. Later, at midnight, I had my midnight snack, or if you will, "second breakfast." The cold, refrigerated milk with the tasty, sugar-filled cereal makes my day. Half the bag disappeared that day. 

I like to be alone with my cereal, when I have it in the middle of the night. I will watch YouTube or browse Reddit while I eat. Back when I was younger, ages ago, I actually brought a book with me and I read it (pun intended). My cereal breaks last usually from half-an-hour to an hour, and I enjoy every moment of them, unless someone else is around. 

Cereal is my life dude. My family will always tell me to stop and to eat other real food. But what do they know? They don't know how much cereal I put in my bowl.
