Eating at night - Preop

[LittleBird 0]

Since I faithfully gave up smoking (I'm doing GREAT with it now!) I've been eating at night. It's like I'm asleep, but not all the way - I get up, I eat - and not stuff I'm supposed to be eating!! Crap, like the leftover pizza last night (one piece of that last night) - or the chips (which I HATE having in the house anyway) left over from our BBQ, or a handful of chocolate chips - just the chips, no cookie...It's like an obsession. I do great all day - then at night it all goes out the window....

It's gotten worse these last few days and I feel horrible about it. WHAT DO I DO? I'm afraid its fucked up my (sorry about the language, but hey its my journal!) weight loss before surgery. I might be over reacting but I still feel bad.

Quit drinking, quit eating, quit smoking - all my vices are gone and I feel like I'm trying to hold on to one of those slippery Water toys - the Water worm? I try to hold on, but it slips out of my hand - *sigh* Can I do this? How do I REPLACE my vices with something good for me??

I know that I did the same thing for a long time. I finally asked a nutritionist about it and she said that one reason people do that is they aren't getting enough calories during the day. I tried to add a few more calories during the day, and I didn't have the same eat a huge f;ing pile of food thing at night. Just an idea.

Thanks for that...I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who has gone through this.

Your surgery is tomorrow?? How exciting!!
