My husband has the metabolism of a horse. He’s been that way his whole life. So I’ve observed his eating…because I figure he is not plagued by emotional eating at all. Interestingly enough, he is really very disciplined. He doesn’t go back for seconds or thirds. His big tip? He brushes his teeth after he’s done eating. Once you brush your teeth, you don’t want to mess that up by eating more. I do that and it really does help. Either that or maybe you should record that voice saying that so you can replay it whenever you think you’re hungry!

So the right answer wasn’t to let Jack get up, and come cuddle you with a couple of Hershey’s kisses thrown in for extra bonding? Damn. This explains alot.

This was too cute. Jack’s a real character. Reminds me of Sean.

I’m hungry right now. But I want chips & salsa. The only salvation at this point is that I’m out of chips. And salsa. Which is a small miracle in itself…Divine intervention? Hmm…

I started my journey April 6th and yes the hardest part is the not eating at night. So I changed my snack of whatever popped into my mind, to a 80 calorie yogurt from Light N Fit. It has helped me a lot. Plus I too Kathryn’s advice and started chewing gum while on the computer. I have lost 4 pounds already.

If I can do it–You can do it!

I know how hard this is. I really do. I love that Jack was coaching you from the bedroom or from above.

You have a ton more willpower than I do! If my stomach were growling, I’d be eating. (really growling, not imaginary growling) Seriously, how can you not eat when your stomach is telling you, loudly, that it needs food? I’ve even tried to go to bed, but can’t sleep through the growling. Then I end up with a headache. Yeah, eating is better than being headachy and suffering insomnia because of it … I’m sure of it! 😉

Hang in there…when in desparation to control my appetite, I brush my teeth when I am done with my dinner….some stuff just doesn’t taste the same when you have minty fresh breath 🙂 Proud of you!

I envy you your willpower, regardless of it’s source.

I try to park one of the cats on my lap, so I CAN’T get up, but the cats really don’t care all that much.

In fact, I think they’d like it if my lap was LARGER.

Stay strong, woman!

Oh my goodness, I feel your pain. I love a snack in front of the TV after the kids are down. More than one night I have taken a benadryl and gone to bed early just so that I don’t eat.

If I truly do think I’m hungry though, I allow myself a small bowl of Cheerios with cut up fruit (no sugar).

You can do it, Min. Apparently snacking runs in the family, but if you can stop then so can I. We can be strong together!
