I’m doing okay at meals, but around 8:30 the pantry starts feeling magnetic. Dinner was real — protein, veg, enough — and then I’m hunting for something crunchy even though I’m not truly hungry.
Last night I caught myself eating cereal standing up, which I hadn’t done in months. I don’t want to turn it into a shame spiral; I just want a plan for that 20-minute window.
For those of you who’ve had this urge come and go: what actually helps? A drink? Brushing teeth? A set snack? Leaving the room? I’m collecting ideas to test this week.
