I do and you know.. I really don’t think I’ve learned to account for it yet. I’ll figure it out. :)

Do you think it’s the extra running that’s actually increasing your appetite? Or maybe that you’re rocking so much with all the exercise that you’re giving yourself a pass to eat more snacks? Don’t beat yourself up – just try to figure out what it is that’s making you want to do that late in the evening.

I feel your pain!!! I’m the queen of “I’ll start tomorrow”.

I completely feel you on this post! This sums up my eating habits lately :) Why is it we can feel so energized and committed in the morning and then everything just falls by the wayside at night? I guess all we can do is take it one choice at a time…

It must just be “That time of year” because everyone seems to be this way lately…

Its me from yesterdays post……on day 2 and I ate 24 points. Only 1 over. That’s TREMENDOUS for me lately. i am a night eater too…..
I have many weaknesses….but one of my favorite are PEEPS…yes….sugar on top of a cute shaped marshmallow creature…I mean, c’mon…how is ONE innocent looking chickie or bunny going to hurt? Or two….or three….or you know….a WHOLE pack is only 6 points! 6 POINTS!!!
That’s how it goes….
well today? No peeps……they didn’t call my name yesterday, or today, and I may just have to tell my son I’m throwing them away.
I just thought of something funny….
its been two days and I haven’t heard (c’mon – you know it coming) a PEEP out of them!
ha ha
he he
ho ho

BTDT pretty much all day yesterday! Ate all my extras if not more. Now I’m trying my darndest to stay in my points for the rest of the week (til tomorrow) even with 2 dinner parties at my house. Good thing I have yummy recipes that anyone would eat!

I don’t really feel ‘ I ‘ can give you any advice- you’ve been so capable on your own :) I just wonder when your last meeting was ? I find the meetings to be sobering and a reminder of all my goals. HTH

Been there, done that! Hang in there Roni!

For me, I can’t have my trigger foods in the house – I can leave cookies all day long, but pretzels – no way!!

Maybe it’s time to get the danger foods out of the house (or at least make it very inconvenient to get to), and time to get to bed early, or make the decision that there will be NO eating after 8pm or whatever time you notice the eating starts. This night eating thing is a stage that you’ll find a way to get past, I’m sure of it.

But you know Roni, I’d love to see a positive, self empowering “Note to self” from time to time… whenever I see a post titled this, I know you’re about to come down on yourself.

Or… how about a “Things I did Right Today” post? I’m just thinking that when we start beating ourselves up over something, it adds to the cycle and then we find ourselves eating more.

Balance, right? :-)
