When does the binge monster attack?

Night time is worse for me. If I can't sleep and I'm down, that's the worst.
 
Late at night, I used to settle into bed with some snacks and watch TV, now I might have a sugar free Jelly.
 
I tend to have ether a cup of options or a yogurt last thing. It tends to help.

I tell myself if I am not willing to eat a free food, I am not really hungry.
 
I think for the first time I have realised that my overeating is linked to depression.

I've had a tendency to depression all my adult life and it's pretty well controlled. Now and again I still get low days, as we all do.

On Sunday I had one of those low days. I felt pretty miserable all day if truth be told. All I could think about was food - I just wanted to eat and eat and eat and eat. I didn't of course, but it drove me nuts all day. I was thinking about pasties and crisps and chocolate. The 'old me' would have had a massive binge but I kept it together and, with the exception of a little bit of chocolate after my tea, I was good :D
 
I'm exactly the same. There's something about after 8pm, me and chocolate that mean we just can't stay away from each other.
