I know enough to not restrict all day and then eat the house down at night… that said, it is a fight every DAMN night not to “carb” myself to sleep. It really feels like the natural way for me to get to sleep. Multiple slices of sourdough toast and butter, leftover pizza, peanut butter in a tortilla - they all seem perfectly reasonable to my disordered brain after a substantial balanced dinner and fruit for dessert. I do not feel sick after, just unhappy because of calories consumed. I feel sleepy.

I exercise in the morning. At night I take a hot shower,, sip tea, read, etc. and toss and turn and think about crackers. I feel like thin women secretly take sleeping pills. Not really, but how do you sleep? [/quote]

This is me, when things are bad in my life and I lack discipline. This is also my DH in those circumstances. We feed into each other's night carbing big time. It's a lot easier to justify eating them together than it is to justify eating them alone, at least for me.

Right now, I am back in a relatively healthy place in that we have a loaf of good sourdough and a lot of crackers, but we made a plan to cut out the night snacking and basically not eat after 7pm. Our current plan is to go for a walk, have sex, take a shower, have some tea, and ultimately probably melatonin ourselves to sleep. In my experience, if we follow that plan this week, by Friday, it won't be a struggle anymore. It's really just getting there. [/quote]
