I've been managing to get some quiet time, of sorts and the late night comfort eating urges that begin when the kids are finally asleep have been much better.
I only realised they had stopped thus:
The only one still awake was Miyuki, who had just woken as the others had begun to sleep (maybe my comfort eating urges were not there because they weren't all in bed LOL!). Jon then said to me "Right, I need to go and do some work." (which means I'm still on duty) and instantly, at that very moment, I GOT A HUGE URGE TO GO TO THE CUPBOARD AND FIND SOMETHING TO COMPENSATE ME FOR SOMETHING!
I'm thinking this morning that I need to tie my cognitive behaviour therapy into this one and try to overcome it by overcoming the automatic thoughts that keep confirming my sense of deprivation or something. Not responding to the urges also helps wean me off so that I don't have them so much.
Getting off sugar makes a huge difference.
I'm not eating particularly well as we had Becs' family birthday dinner out yesterday. However I avoided pudding again (three times in a row!)

ReplyDeleteI'm right with you on the whole healthy life thing. I managed to eat only half a muller rice last night, but then tripped up on the fruit pastilles that Gary sabotaged me with!Mid evening is my danger time too.
