Late Night Snacking & Bingeing | Why You Do It & How To Stop

This is a problem . . .

It's 9:00 at night, the kids are finally in bed, and you're DONE.  Mentally, physically, and emotionally cooked.  And this is about the time that you head back to the fridge for something to munch on. You grab that snack, plop down on the couch, turn on the TV and zone out.  The one snack turns into more, and more until it's starts to feel like a binge.  

WHY do you keep doing this? And even more important HOW do you stop?

The truth is, your late night snacking and bingeing is a result of all of your decisions and actions throughout the day, NOT just the choice you make in the moment you're standing in front of the fridge.  How much you ate, what you ate, how you managed your emotions, and stressors (or didn't) ALL contribute to that pivotal moment at night where you mindlessly grab for the carton of ice cream because it'll make you feel better.

If you're going to overcome this, we need to attack the problem from both MIND and BODY.  You need to eat such a way during the day that you don't need more food late at night.  And you some mental, emotional, and behavioral strategies so you don't feel the need to calm yourself with food.  

In this episode I'll give you some of my best strategies for overcoming late night snacking and bingeing and I'll also give you some of the ways that I personally have overcome these things.  Send me a DM on Instagram if you give them a try or have questions!
