I never snack at night. I know that sounds odd to some people but I truly don't.
As yall know...I'm vain as hell and I figure that if I've eaten throughout the day as often as I do...the last thing I need to do is add calories right before I go to bed and am laying there in a sedentary state and not working off the food. I mean...I eat a pretty good amount of food during the day my caloric intake is already up there ya know? Why in the WORLD would I want to add more to the number?
As I was thinking about this my phone rang and I asked a friend does she snack at night. She got quiet talking bout some HUH?
Lemme repeato me-selfo. DO.YOU.SNACK.AT.NIGHT?
She admitted that yes she does and that it's most often ice cream that is her weakness.
I hung up the phone and called a guy friend and he admitted that he sneaks and eats whatever sweet is in the house. He says he's not even hungry when he does it...he just wants something to snack on.
And I don't get that.
In my brain there is a direct correlation between eating and exercise. I know that if I get on the scale tomorrow and it's a pound or two more than I'm used to...I know I can pinpoint exactly where I went wrong that day and yes...I weigh myself everyday because I'm of the mind that I don't want anything sneaking up on me.
That one or two pounds will haunt my azz right up to the gym to do an extra mile or two on the treadmill because I know what I need to do to get rid of it. I believe in putting in the work.
Eating at night should be stopped. You should stop eating after a certain hour and use that time as a personal mandate to let yourself know that you care about what you are putting in your body. For me...I kinda have a schedule for food.
1. Breakfast
2. Snack
3. Lunch
4. Snack
5. Dinner
6. Dessert
That's six small meals throughout my day and I am VERY picky about what I choose. Why? Because I know for a fact that I only have one body and no matter how much money I have...I can't get another one.
Tell the truth and shame the devil...
Do YOU snack at night? What do you normally reach for? Do you think you can stop? Have you ever TRIED to stop?
