Things we do, and why?

Hi buddies…Hope spring is in your neck of the woods, it is here. (I mowed my lawn a couple days ago!!!) So far I’ve been on 3 hikes in the last week, yay hiking season is here again. I think out of all the cardio this is my favorite, get to be in nature, see beautiful scenery, gets the blood pumping and an awesome workout for the legs and butt!

BUT I’m still eating at night and sabatoging all my hard work. I don’t do it every night but enough so I’m not dropping the lbs like I should. I eat so well during the day, get in sometimes 2 workouts, and still do this to myself. It’s like I’m in such a state of denial when I’m doing it, don’t know what the hell I’m thinking. Stupid is as stupid does! Is this some deep down physcological thing, am I bored, need some comfort, what the HELL is it? I’m thoroughly disgusted with myself in this, this in the ONLY thing holding me back. During the day I don’t even think about food, I eat to live during the day, but night time comes and I go off the wall. I feel pathetic. How do I dig down deep and get the strength to fight this?

My weight has gone up 15 lbs since last year and thank God I’ve done weights for 12 years so it doesn’t look like I weigh as much as I do but when I see those numbers on the scale I cringe. I don’t want this summer to be a repeat of last summer where I wouldn’t even wear shorts or take the kids to the waterslides. Ok I just needed to vent. Thanks for reading this and if any of you have the same dilema, would love to hear from you!

    Okay, I just ate dinner, the second one of the evening for me. If I don’t keep busy this evening, I will probably eat something else. Mine is being tired and frustrated. I have gotten better. I find writing in a journal helps me at the end of the day. Glad to see you back!

    Get online and talk to us when you feel like nite eating, I have had some problems with that, too. We can beat this thing. Good job on the hiking and weights!

    Well I did snack on not so healthy foods last night, but it does not have to be the end. That was then and this is now. What do you get from the eating at night? It seems to me that this is who you see yourself to be… The good girl during the day and the not so good girl at night. I think you are getting ticked off enough to start a new you. Either way, I think you are great. Take care of yourself and enjoy those hikes… *so jealous* ;)

    I have the same problem. I am not sure why, I think stress and boredom. At least you are being active. Let’s get through this together.
