sugar cravings only show up during my ranked queue nights

anyone else's cravings tied to one specific thing they do, not a tme of day? mine never hit in the afternoon. its like clockwork though — 1am, mid ranked queue, and my brain decides it needs something sweet before the next match. tried white-knuckling it and that lasted about 3 nights. weirdly what helps is a big mug of hot tea next to me plus a pack of mint gum, something about keeping my hands and mouth busy while i wait for the lobby. nine weeks in, down 21 lbs, so its not wrecking anything, but i'd rather not spend every queue thinking about the leftover halloween candy in the cupboard. does anyone else have their craving welded to a hobby like that? did it ever actually stop, or did you just get better at redirecting it?

Been there. We had a thread a while back about “activity triggers” vs time-of-day triggers, and ranked nights came up a lot. What finally helped me was separating the cue frm the reward: I put a sticky note on my monitor that said “lobby = water, not pantry,” and I logged cravings in my notes app by activity for two weeks. Ranked queue was like 90% of my sweet urges; afternoons were almost zero. Even now, when my appetite stuff is quiet, that 1am lobby itch still shows up if I’m tilted. Are you queuing solo or with friends? Voice chat made mine way worse.
