I had an interesting email from a TBYT reader a while back, writing about her habit of going out to get food at 10:00 PM.

She said she does well all day and then around that time, she "can't stand it anymore" and then goes and gets something to eat, even though she isn't hungry:

"Yesterday I had the desire to eat some pretzels. I said to myself NO, you had some tortilla chips. So I didn't need to eat the pretzels.

At this point it was like a back and forth discussion in my mind about having the pretzels. So I wind up going to 7-11 and got the pretzels.

At that point I would describe the feeling I had as peace mentally. Because before I bought them and I experience this same feeling when I try to say NO to sweets, I have no rest in my brain. Like my thoughts becoming consumed with it until I eat it, then afterwards I feel like a release.

I am not sure what to tell myself during this time. Usually I say I don't need this or not right now."

My response to her is in the following article. I pray it helps you if you are struggling with night-time eating attacks too:
