Do not open the pantry.

Repeat.

DO NOT OPEN THE PANTRY!

Remember last night? You almost mindlessly polished of an entire box of Triscuits and you weren’t even hungry. You were bored. You were tired. You just wanted something salty.

Now what’s happening? You’re feeling sorry for yourself? Mad at your back? Frustrated? Overwhelmed? A little funk rolling in?

Let’s face the feelings and and not stuff them down with some processed, easy-to-go-overboard-on pantry snack.

See that fruit basket over there? Yea.. you bought all that for a reason.

How about the pretzels? The hordes of Chinese food? The cupcakes?

No, no, no.

So you had an off day.

Wake up tomorrow and make better choices. It’s that easy. Really, it is.

LISTEN TO IT.

Anyway, of you try to keep yourself up any later you are just going to snack your way through the night. Is it really worth it? The posts can be written tomorrow and the emails aren’t going anywhere. Go to bed early and hit the ground running. Your body will thank you for it tomorrow.

Speaking of, GOOD JOB this morning! I told you going to the gym in the morning would be a good idea. Less obstacles and excuses when everyone else in the house is asleep. And hey, it’s only 2 days a week.

Since we’re in a patting-yourself-on-the-back kind of mood… Great Job on your tracking this week! Now, you know tomorrow kicks off the holiday festivities. Instead of driving yourself crazy take the week off from food journaling. NO, this is not an invitation to binge for a week. It’s about trusting yourself and living in the moment.

Now go to bed. You’ve got a big day tomorrow! Tons of errands, The Husband’s birthday and Little Bean’s 9 month appointment. Can you believe he’s pulling up? Yea, either can I!

Boo! for eating all that CRAP! Did you really need 2 cinnamon buns? TWO? Between those, the chocolate, the monkey bread, the pizza, the cookies and a half of box of crackers you are on carb overload.

Regardless of what you ate or how you feel right now, you do not look like this…

I promise you. Now go to bed. The day is over. Tomorrow’s waiting to be taken advantage of.

This habit needs to stop. And be honest, it’s all habit. You aren’t hungry. You aren’t thirsty. You are simply looking for some reward for wrapping up the day and getting the kids in bed.

Here’s the thing, the “reward” doesn’t need to be a mindless munching out of the pantry. It can be a bath or a cup of tea or heck, go to BED! You can use the sleep!

P.S. Good job on the Baby Food Adventure today! Of course it makes you feel good when he eats good. Remember… treat yourself with the same love and respect. You deserve it as much as he does.

You eat too little during the day and then BAM 8PM hits and you are rummaging through the pantry like a starved rat.

Considering there will be an influx of chocolate this evening let’s be smart and make good choices during the day. Mmmmkay?
