Go to bed!

Late night is THE MOST COMMON time I see people - women and men - turning to sugar (and other junk foods, but mostly sugar).

I used to have a sugar addiction that led to acute but severe health issues, and I still love sweets. The difference now is I understand my triggers and know what I need to do to have a healthy relationship with sugar.

And guess what, I find myself thinking I want sweets late at night as well.

Why is that?

The end of the day...
you are tired...
you are exhausted...
you've had it up to here with your boss/your drama friend/your kids/your whatever...
you are tired...
you finally got all your crap done for the day and have time to think about running into your ex/the worries of your family/the work that didn't get done...
you are tired...
you did not get a chance to relax all day and now you really want to enjoy yourself...
you are tired...
you still have so much left to do...
laundry...
something on the computer...
dishes...
get ready for tomorrow...
you are tired!!!!

Okay so the BIGGEST factor here is that you are TIRED!!!

It sounds SO SIMPLE, and yet it is not.
Because our society does not value rest and relaxation and our society makes "busy-ness" seem like an essential part of our lives.

But I'm telling you right now... busy-ness = stress and stress drives us to make bad choices because of the hormonal/chemical affects on our brain.

So, if you want to stop late night sugar binges, plan your entire day around getting yourself into bed earlier.

Meal prep your lunches, leave the dishes in the sink (or hire a house cleaner), shut the TV off at night, or whatever you have to do.

Past a sign up in the cabinet/fridge where the sweets are that says "GO TO BED." And read it anytime you go for the sugar after 7-8pm.

Let me know how it goes!!!!!
