OMG! I do the EXACT same thing. Once I recognized that I was eating because I was tired, and I allowed myself to just go to sleep, no matter what time it was, losing weight was a lot easier!

I have often fed my tiredness instead of just going to bed. It is a learning curve, this thing of figuring out when am I acutally hungry verses is it something else? Being an emotional eater, food is the first think I reach for to fix whatever feels broken. It takes practice to stop and ask myself what I am really feeling and what do I need.

Kudos to you for knowing the difference.

This one thought has helped me alot lately – in the evening I want to munch and munch … I now make myself think about it. Am I hungry? Am I tired? Am I bored? – most of the time its bordom! And unless Im actually hungry then I dont give in – sometimes just a nice glass of hot tea will do the trick. It has really helped me stay away from my weekly extra points that I used to use entirely and mainly from night time!

Yep. Tiredness can manifest itself in the form of hunger. Kudos on spotting the difference!

Exactly! I’m glad you went to bed! The other night I was in the same situation. I had spent the entire day (11AM – 8:30PM) at my daughter’s high school making, sorting, fitting, altering and repairing costumes for their musical opening tonight. When I got home and sat in the living room with the husband, all I could think of was a bowl of cereal. It was after 9PM by then. But, like Roni, I realized I was not necessarily hungry, just tired. I listened to my tired old body and went to bed instead. I felt much better in the morning and had no guilt over having eaten that bowl of cereal. And, you better believe, if I’d eaten cereal the night before, it would have Reese’s Peanut Butter Puffs NOT Puffed Wheat!
