Hard 2 Admit in Print
I’m being honest even though it’s hard to admit in print. I was on Buddyslim a few times last night and finally I did give in and fall through and had too much food. It was about 1am.
But… well… I feel like I did make an effort and that is the first time I did that. So maybe I am moving in the right direction?? I’m still going to eat well today, I’ve already walked 4 miles. Tonight I will once again make a Supreme Effort to not eat after 6:30pm and instead log onto BuddySlim.
I may have to accept that it will be difficult at first. I keep expecting it to be simple and easy just to not get up and eat at night but I need to accept that it will be hard at first. I will have to fight that feeling multiple times per night. I hope it will dimish over time.
I was 162 this morning and in order to stay on track I’ll need to lose 5 pounds this week. It’s tough but it’s do-able. But even if I lose just one or two pounds, that’ll be GREAT. Especially if I can stop eating at night.

Hey there! I don’t know what “diet” you are working on, but maybe save up some calories or points (or whatever) to have something satisfying and will stick with you later in the evening? When I was working out heavily, I would get like that too where I couldn’t fall asleep and would start pigging out. If I had some peanut butter toast, that would usually do the trick for me.
Keep up your hard work.

Hang in there. After my BIG message to you, guess what happened to me? Yup! At 3:30 I woke and could not go back to sleep. At 5:00 I went ahead and started my day. I know I was way under calories yesterday, but I had exercise, then 3 sets of visitors, the phone rang all evening, and I only consumed 650 calories all day, Ate a banana before bed and thought I would be okay with that. I know hunger is what woke me, but I waited until breakfast to eat. Sometimes we just can’t win! Lean and mean, Old Marge
