Getting on top of night time food cravings!

My biggest weakness is being hungry before I go to bed.... So over the last couple of days, I switched my 8 Eggo Waffles to a bowl of baby carrots!!! And my appetite is satisfied.........I've been exercising on my elliptical; only five minutes, but it's a beginning... Plus I lift 3lb dumbells and do other aerobic exercises too.. I stopped drinking coffee after 1:00 PM and switched to skinny tea with lemon wedges. I am making small lifestyle changes... Because it is a lifestyle not a fad... I don't care how long it takes I just want to be healthier and skinnier and enjoy myself and not injure myself along the journey!

You could eat a whole box of waffles in one go? I'm very impressed you were able to swap that out for carrots. Very!

I once knew a guy that ate an entire family sized box of cheerios every morning for breakfast. He died of a massive heart attack at 40

@come2gether Omgoodness!!! I'm going to be 44 next Sunday! I wanna live!

@saintsong sounds like you're doing the right things to help yourself, keep it up.

As a side note, there is a bit of irony on the cheerios guy. Doesn't it say right on the box, "heart healthy "? If it doesn't now, I'm pretty sure it did when that happened

@ElisbchThanks Not tomorrow, but Sunday next week!! The 23rd!! Woot woot! 44!!! I'm officially OLD!! But If I lose all the weight I gained on my medication maybe I'll be pretty again?

@saintsong ..

You're welcome!.. I probably won't remember then so best to get it in now..LOL 😄
44 isn't even close to old.... don't let your mind think you are.
You're still pretty now. You may be prettier after you lose the weight but you'll feel better most likely and that's what counts. 😊🤗... 🎂.. you can blow out the candles but eat only a small sliver of cake!..LOL 🤣.. (just kidding)

@saintsong

You're welcome. 🙂
( I was lucky, came across your post at the right time..LOL 😄)
I have done that a few times in the past... celebrate for a week. I had forgotten about that. I may have to do that again. Do something good for yourself and enjoy it! You're only 44 once..... well.. numerically speaking..LOL.
