I’ve only just seen this so I’m a bit behind the times. This challenge might make me stop my late night snacking. The hardest thing I remember having to do when I was first diagnosed exactoy 49 years ago, was to learn to eat when I wasn’t hungry. In those days you had a fixed amount of insulin and had to eat set portions of carbs at regualer intervals to balance it. One injection a day; I went on to two after my first year. So those between meal and bedtime snacks became the essential norm for me after a while. Now with modern insulin regimes and being able to inject for what I want to eat instead of the other way round, I no longer need those snacks… mostly, I often make mistakes and have to have hypo rescue snacks. But I rarely need them at night. I’m desperately trying to lose another stone in weight before I‘ll be happy with my size, so this could be a good incentive.Who will join me?
I intend to do this for the rest of January- 10 days and hopefully I’ll have broken the habit by then and carry on.
I‘m not hungry, I suspect I’m bored and it’s becoming a habit. So I thought if there were a few of us that struggle with this it would be good to record our successes and make suggestions on how we coped.
