confession:
this is SO hard. I've cheated already. the hardest part is not eating before bed. I always crave popsicles, carbs, and sweet things right before sleep.
when i have nighttime cravings, i visualize the big bowl of cereal i'll get to eat in the morning (that way i jump-start my metabolism and have all day to burn it off)and how good it will taste and how good i'll feel.
also, i brush my teeth. can't eat after that!
but, if it's one of those nights and i need a popsicle or a handful of chocolate chips, i don't beat myself up over it (as long as it's not a gallon of ice cream or pizza!)
I hear you! Yesterday was a bad day for me. And I felt awful and tired too.
ReplyDeleteA few things to try before bed...gum...working out...water...or, just go to sleep! :)
Praying for you!
thanks Chris! those tips are helpful. I have just been so busy over the last couple weeks. I know it's not an excuse, but it feels like one. :)

cutie! good advice, though. maybe I'll chew some extra.
