Today I am celebrating being able to stop myself from eating late at night.
I have done enough self evaluation to know that much of my extra eating is done as a reaction to stress. As a rule I don't outwardly stress about much but for me, being the only decision maker in the house is stressful and my go to coping mechanism has been shoving whatever food I can find in my face.
However, since I have been exercising regularly and started looking in the mirror again I have been able to begin to be honest with myself about how I got to be this big. And the simple act of recognizing the behaviors that are keeping me unhealthy is pretty big. When I go to reach for the chip bag something is finally clicking in my head to remind me that I don't really want or need the chips.
So .... Hooray for victory over that bag of Taki's in the cupboard that did not become part of an emotional late night binge and will live to make it into my kids lunch!
