It’s 10:00 pm. The kids are finally in bed. You’ve put away the last toy, given the last goodnight kiss, and loaded every last plate, knife and fork into the dishwasher.
It’s been a busy day, but now the house is silent and you feel like you can take a moment to yourself. Now is your time to relax–maybe watch (or re-watch) your favorite show, scroll social media or play that addictive game on your phone.
But first, you make a stop at the pantry. Because every night needs a snack, right?
You have a clear goal to stop eating after dinner. It feels like a good cut-off point to the day. You’ve done really well for the whole day, sticking to your plan, eating healthy snacks, and not overeating at meals.
So, what is it about those hours between dinner and bedtime that always draw you to just a few chips, one candy bar, or a leftover cookie?
