Tuesday's Tip

Tuesday's Tip:

"If you tend to "graze" at night, set an eating deadline for yourself. For example, nothing to eat after 9pm or 10pm. And stick to it."

- Gary Scheiner, CDE

Allison,
I can't use paypal as I don't have a checking account. Can I mail you a money order?

Allison said...

Sarah, I think you can send it from a savings account... That's what I set up my account with. Give that a try and if it still doesn't work, let me know and I'll give you an address to send it to.

Thanks,
Anne

I am posting a comment right now instead of eating. I always get hungry at this point of the day (just hungry not low - no excuse)and I work at a college so there is always food around.
Hoping this will distract me. :)

Sara - did it work?? LOL. Hope you were able to overcome your hunger. One thing you could do is bring low-carb snacks with you. Snacking isn't bad, it's just what we tend to eat when we want something quick and yummy! Bring a granola bar or a piece of fruit with you to school so you have something to munch on. Or get something to drink. I read somewhere that sometimes hunger means you're actually thirsty and that drinking water can help.

Yeah, it worked alright. I actually got up to get some water and that did help. I also am addicted to Diet Pepsi - which makes you hungry so that is part of my problem. Check my blog in the next day or two to find out where my food challenge was this past weekend.
Off to the gym! :)
