My mom has told me this a few times the last 2 weeks. :) It was advice I needed to hear. I don't like to be hungry. Come week 3 I am finally accepting this statement and eating my snacks when I should (between brkfst/lunch and lunch/dinner) and not saving one of my snacks for right before 8pm. And you know what? For these 3 days this week I've felt way better during the day and at night. Yes I'm hungry come 8:30, but it doesn't keep me awake at night. The last 2 weeks I was eating to eat because I still had a snack left and I was taking it...yet I was starving in the morning. So we're making progress and that is good. Now I'm off to clean a shower...more advice from my mom. When you're hungry (and don't need to eat) or wanting sweets, or want to stress eat, etc. go clean a closet or shower or something. Great distraction method!
Great advice. So often eating junk is done out of boredom (at least for me!). And something that I've grown to love on this challenge is that little bit hungry feeling when I go to bed...it's a weird way of telling myself I did a good job that day. :)
