It seems lots of nite owl types have similar issues with nightime eating.<br /><br />SHELLI: Yes, it does feel like a roller coaster at times. :-) Glad to see you doing so well.<br /><br />NANCY: Yes, it IS hard to switch when it feels so natural to be a nite owl! Jello....hmmm...that sounds good, I think I will get some made up, it always fills me up and doesn't "cost" much the way of carbs/calories.<br /><br />Thank you all!<br />LorettaRettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-44629277480398496372009-10-15T11:54:17.359-07:002009-10-15T11:54:17.359-07:00cool now I know how to subscribe... :-)
As for my...cool now I know how to subscribe... :-)<br /><br />As for my eating at night, I wish I was less of a night owl. I am going to try try this week to always have something to drink that fills me up at about 9 pm and see if that helps. Even some diet hot chocolate would probably work. Last night I had diet jello...to me thats a good night if all I have is jello!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-48964784458786941552009-10-13T19:44:54.163-07:002009-10-13T19:44:54.163-07:00The emotional rollercoaster I'm cashing in my ...The emotional rollercoaster I'm cashing in my ticket.Shelli Bellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083430574302726791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-57731638295419556572009-10-13T19:27:16.562-07:002009-10-13T19:27:16.562-07:00I'm struggling so much at night that I have to...I'm struggling so much at night that I have to give myself a lecture almost every night right now. As I was typing, I think I realized why - I do a lot of writing at night and I'm feeling stress to get it typed up. Am I hungry? Maybe just a little, but not so I need a meal.<br />This was a good blog entry today. It has helped me a lot.Karen Elizabeth Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190485992966502931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-53886414625873298732009-10-13T18:51:49.964-07:002009-10-13T18:51:49.964-07:00Hi Nancy,

My biggest time when I need to be the most aware is nighttime...especially after Jim goes to bed...and then especially if I am genuinely hungry! Small snack...fine. But too often that small snack has a way of growing or morphing into a goodie-fest! <br /><br />Oops...I changed the wording about comments...I didn't even catch that when I turned off the Word Verification dealie, that it changed the look.

Great minds think alike!
The most u...Hi CinciMom11,<br />Great minds think alike!<br />The most useful source that taught about handling emotions that I can highly recommend was Dr Phil's book "The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution". I would say about half the book touches on this in one way or another...you can still do your own nutrition plan, but the techniques in there will help you tremendously! I don't have it all down...I am still learning to be consistent.<br /><br />And wouldn't you know, just about 10 minutes ago I finished listening to a podcast interview that was on this very subject!! It was soooo good...I believe the same way as her, that this journey has more than one component. It has nutritional, yes, but also mental, emotional and spiritual aspects. It was a great interview. If you'd like to hear it, here is the link:<br />http://preview.tinyurl.com/yzut7lu<br /><br />I am going to her youtube site now and see what she has there. Oughta be interesting!<br />LorettaRettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-5686319298819785492009-10-13T12:57:58.800-07:002009-10-13T12:57:58.800-07:00I am in the middle of writing a similar post. I go...I am in the middle of writing a similar post. I got bored halfway through and decided to check out your blog. :) Emotional eating is horrible. stress drives me to eat and want to stay full all day. I use food to numb myself. My weight did not used to be a problem because I never had a lot of real stress. I don't know how to deal with stress and emotions. You seem to have a good handle on it! You are so right about it being a mental thing!financecupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781586611582887524noreply@blogger.com
