The worst part of this late night snacking is I was debating for about 20 minutes, while I prepared for bed, whether or not I should have a Greek yogurt. That would've only been 170 calories. I ended up eating over twice that.
*sigh*
Folks, this is my worst area of weakness..snacking. I know I'm not alone in this..I was just amazed at how many calories I could consume quickly and not feel stuffed.
I feel ya! I get home from work and can consume as many calories before dinner as I did all day long at work. I often wonder if I need to eat more at work so that I'm not starving when I get home. Tomorrow is a new day! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, amen! Thanks!
DeleteSnacking is tough. Do you do it because you are hungry or bored? I tend to snack when I'm bored and it's totally unconscious, I'm not even really "enjoying" what I'm eating, just shoveling it in,right now when I'm hungry I drink water. Lately I've been consuming about 12 a day. I used to consume about 10, I've upped it just to clear away the snacking beasts.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely boredom and habits. There are certain snacktime habits that I am finding hard to break. I used to snack at certain times if I ate a lighter meal, but I'm noticing that when I eat a fuller meal I'm not hungry at that appointed snack time and then I don't know what to do with myself. It's strange and sad that I'm so stuck to habitual eating. Darn...more things to work on.
DeleteI do try and drink water when I want to munch, just not so much directly before bed like last night. I drink about 64 oz of water daily.
