Grrrr!

I know how you feel. I've been trying to just not have the things that I like in the house. Lately when I feel really hungry I've been getting some ice chips and chomping them down. It works some times for a short while.

It's been easier since I found out that I was diabetic. I keep some really yummy sugar-free cookies (I can have three) so eating them helps....so no candy or sugary foods. I can't have salt because I just swell up terribly....so no chips or sunflower seeds. It's like.....what can I eat? Fruit, string cheese........and ice chips!! Yay!!!

It think it's hormonal. Being on my healthy kick, I quit buying junk food and desserts. I keep nuts in my candy dishes, replacing the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and M&Ms. I do still buy popsicles and ice cream sandwiches, but those don't tempt me. Harold bought himself a stash of candy bars to take to work.

I usually snack every night, and I can't help it. For me it's not sweets though, I always eat salty stuff before bed, usually popcorn or chips. It doesn't even matter how full I am, I'll still feel I need to have something! When I lived with my grandma, she would tell me "Grandpa always said you don't sleep well if you eat before bed!" but I sleep quite contently with a full tummy

I'm just like you Lindsay, I don't even have to be hungry to want something to eat. Usually it is salty things, but sometimes it is sweets - there's just no telling.

Sandy, usually I don't keep tempting snacks in the house either - but sometimes when I'm in the snacky mood, I can eat plain bread and butter - it doesn't matter, I just have to put something in my mouth.

Sometimes I have so much willpower and I won't snack at all in the evenings for days/weeks. Then all of a sudden it will come on me and it's like I have NO willpower at all and I eat eat eat for days/weeks - I gain weight, then I feel terrible. It takes soooo long now to lose it. But when I'm in the snacking mode, I KNOW it will take forever to lose what I gain and I will be miserable - but I eat ANYWAY.

I think I am psychotic - or irrational, at least.

I love you girls!

Last night was my night. I was wearing out the kitchen drawers looking for something to munch on, ate a banana - but that didn't work, played on the computer - that didn't work, finally went to bed!
