Day Thirty - Late Night Snacks

After consuming 400 calories in snacks since dinner, I've realized something that I never did before.  I'm seeing more and more about my after dinner bad eating habits.  I don't know if I ever realized how many calories I consume at night.  I get hungry (for all of the unhealthy stuff) around 8:30 or later every single night.  Tonight, while I did stay under my 1500 calories/day, I ate 400 calories within a few hours of bed.  I immediately had that sense of regret.  How did I do this, was all that was running through my head.  I was so wrapped up in calculating the individual calories, I didn't even think to add up the total calories for all of the snacks I was "only having a little bit of."  That's how things slip in.  A little distraction (even being distracted by something that is good), can completely derail you from reaching your goal.  So, it's time to kick the late eating to the curb.  No more 400 calories in snacks before bed.  I'll just continue to remind myself that I am on a mission, and late night snacks will not keep me from losing my butter half.

I didn't eat enough calories at first, which led to me overeating on the snacks tonight.  I did exercise again, which always gives me confidence.
