My Body Tutor : No More Excuses

Many people feel so in control during the day but when nighttime comes it’s very hard for them to not overeat.

Overeating is simply a way for us to change the way we feel. Or more so numb how we feel so we don’t have to feel it. The only way to overcome overeating is to let yourself feel.

I think night time is the time many of us overeat because it’s the first chance we actually have all day to feel. However, if nighttime eating isn’t your thing, this still applies.

It’s important to ask yourself some questions at night (or whenever).

Here are some to get you started:

What does the nighttime represent to you?

Are you lonely?

Do you wish you were with a lover?

Are you dreading another day of work?

Are you overwhelmed by the stuff all around you?

Are you extremely bored?

Are you not intellectually challenged?

Do you have a significant other/spouse that makes you feel even more lonely because you don’t connect with them in a way that you want to be?

If you want to crack the code on why you overeat at night start asking yourself these questions.

Here’s the deal though: Deep down we may know (even though we might not want to know) the real reason. And if you don’t, asking these questions will help you.

For a lot of people making big life changes is terrifying. I hear you! Change is absolutely 1000% scary.

But if you’re going to ’stick it out’ whatever it is and choose (because it is a choice) unhappiness over uncertainty here’s my advice:

Make the best of your situation and accept it.

But don’t fight reality. A reality that’s in your control to change.

Because you can change it. Or you can make the best of it. But complaining is just useless.
