Over eating question? Do you ...

Do you ever find you eat almost uncontroalably - revert to old habits- when you are very tired?  I have had a couple time when I went back to old habits and when it happens I try to figure out why, what triggered it, usually emotions or stress.  Today I got home from a trip and just continuiously ate for about 45- 50 min.  Not gret choices either.  Truthfully the only thing I can think of is that I was exhausted or that I was wa about 2 hours past when I should have eaten and was very hungry?  I am not sure, maybe a combination of both.

Just currious, Still bvery tired, even though I slept about 3 hours this after noon so I hope this makes sence.

when I am out of sorts I do tend to eat more - but I have RNY so I really can't eat that much at one sitting. If I am tired, upset or stressed I get into those feeding frenzies - I just try and eat healthy things - celery sticks are great for crunch. bananas with peanut butter for something sweet.

It is all a learning process the best thing you can do is identify what is making you eat then the next time you feel that way you turn to something other then food.

Hope this helps!

You were tired and hungry, You had not eaten in time. It happens sometimes there really isnt bad behavior or emotions behind it. LOL I know can believe that I a therapist am saying sometimes it really is just about hunger. Shoot me now

Thanks, I guess with all this I am conditioned to "find the reason"  maybe this time it is just hunger and exhaustion!

I have a band also.  It's almost half full.  In the morning it is very tight. I was told this is normal.  I can barely drink my coffee and take my pills.  During the day I am rarely hungry.  At night that is a different story.  Well I'm really not any more hungry than I was in the day time but that is when I notice I eat more.  Just like before band.  Evening was the worst for me.  I'd eat and eat even if I wasnt hungry.  Same goes now for the band.  I would eat all night if it would let me.  I do tend to eat more.  I'm just thankful the band stops me from pigging out.  I do believe my eating is from boredom.  So I try to stay busy and away from food at night.

When mine is correctly filled mornings are thighter too.  I try warm fluids like decaf coffee,  it usually helps so I can eat yogurt.  Thry say cold makes it tighter but I do not experience tha, actually I don't do cold too much any more.

Lesson for today, When tired stay outr of the klitchen and go to bed!!!
