Late Night Munchies
Do you find that no matter how committed you are to healthy eating or weight loss diets, there's a specific time each evening that you get the 'munchies'?
...and that small square of chocolate or a cookie or two does nothing to alleviate this craving?
Have you really stopped to think about this or do you just accept that this is the way it is?
Because it doesn't have to be this way.
If you have eaten sufficient nourishment during the day then a need for food is not what this is about...it rarely is in our society.
What is happening is that there is some other need, some psychological/emotional need that is not being met and because that need is going un-noticed, un-acknowledged or even denied, it is seeping out like like water through a crack in a glass, and the more this need goes unmet, the emptier the glass gets, transforming itself into the dreaded 'munchies' or as is more commonly known in this profession as emotional eating or 'putting food on feelings'.
To get to the source of this need often takes some time and exploration but when you finally do acknowledge the true source of this need and take the appropriate steps to get it met then you will notice that the 'munchies' just disappear.
