Night Eating (10 year cycle)
Hi all,
I am a new member. I am a male (doesn't seem to be to many men here, but what they hay...). Anyway, not sure if this post should go here but here goes. I am 35 years old and need to lose about 60 pounds (90 to get down to my 25 year old weight). I have eaten at night (between 11pm and 1am) for 10 years - and I literally mean every night. It all started when I used to be a fitness fanatic and think it started because my body really did need the calories since I was working out twice a day most days during the week. Needless to say, I'm not longer working out like that but have continued to eat at night.
What happens is I will eat dinner around 7pm and be fine. Go to bed around 11pm and not be hungry at all. All the sudden I will wake up and literally be starving to death. I will ALWAYS eat crappy food. Cheese and crackers, Capn Crunch, left over pizza, chips, PB and J, etc... Its as if I can't sleep unless I eat late. I literally do this every single night without fail.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you beat it? I tell myself everynight before I go to bed "you are not going to eat tonight". But like I said, I'll sleep for a little bit and I wake up a different person, starving to death... Thanks in advance guys!
