10:52 pm to be exact. This is by far the worst time of day for me. I am a night owl and I love being awake while the rest of the house sleeps. I can play on the computer, watch TV, catch up on laundry and EAT! I love nothing more than to sit in front of the TV, catch up on my soap opera and eat something(s) really yummy. Ice cream, cookies, potato chips, cheese and crackers, candy, popcorn - basically whatever I can wrap my fingers around. No doubt that I put away at least 40% of my daily caloric intake between the hours of 10 pm and 1 am. So it stands to reason that if I can stop this late night eating I could drop some weight. Nevermind that the thought makes me want to curl up in the fetal position and cry. But I am going to try VERY hard to at least cut WAY back. Tonight I ate a big mutigrain cracker with a wedge of laughing cow cheese, a small Slim Jim and 8 celery sticks wit some tomato bacon dressing. Still a binge, I realize but I stopped short of the bucket of Halloween candy and a big bowl of ice cream with Magic Shell and sprinkles. Nevermind that we are currently out of ice cream - it still makes me feel good that I didn’t eat any.

Okay, I think I may have a few more denial problems than you. Your snack last night, which you called a “binge”…well, I was thinking about how well you’d done, how that was just a little snack, and how you should be very proud of yourself.
Plus, you could have gone out and bought more ice cream and you didn’t!
I’m not sure what to do about our damn bowl of Halloween candy…I didn’t touch it yesterday (due in large part, I’m sure to the fact that I’d already raided it for all the Almond Joys), but I need to face the fact that I can only resist it for so long. It needs to be disposed of…and not by route of my stomach!
Okay, here’s to a new day! A day where we’re gonna rock this whole diet thing!!! Go Kara!!! (Imagine me in a cheerleader uniform jumping around shaking pom-poms…if that imagine doesn’t force you into starvation mode, nothing will!!!)
LMAO at your comment…that’s right–who’s going to last longer when famine sets in, you and I or Aaron and Rich?!!
