My worst habit, the one that kept me fat, has always been eating at night.
I could eat like a normal person through the day, but after the sun goes down, the voice in my head starts up, reminding me about the crisps/chocolate/biscuits/leftover pasta in the kitchen. The voice does not shut up until they have been eaten. Needless to say, I'm not hungry when I'm eating this stuff.
Over the last month, since starting SW, the voice has only won two or three times, instead of every day. And I'm TRYING to shut it up with low-syn or free food instead of my usual rubbish. So that's a big improvement.
But I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to avoid emotional eating and giving in to unwanted impulses? What do you do when you hear that voice?
