Damn trigger

Holy cow. It's ridiculous and so clear that a huge eating trigger for me is when I have to work late. It's one of the last habits that I have to figure out how to overcome. Late night working trigger an urge to eat and eat big. Last night it was cracker chips, spinach dip, grapes and a fiber one bar. All measured and pointed out and caused a nice chunk taken out of weekly points that have to last me to next Wednesday. Not so bad, HOWEVER, I'm probably going to be working late every night until a get a re-set on weekly points next Wednesday.

So, I'm grabbing hold of this freight train before it wrecks. Trying to stop the late night binge is really hard, can't quit it cold turkey. Deciding to PLAN for it throughout the day and leave myself some more evening points for this snacking habit. Also, need to try a few changes like baby carrots with spinach dip makes this snack 2 points instead of 5. Lower point fiber one bars would help. The one I ate was 4 points, a 2 point bar would have been better. Looks like a pit stop at the store today.

Grocery list:
1. baby carrots
2. low point bars
3. some flavored diet soda (feels like a bigger snack and 0 points)

This is the first time I am trying to plan for this situation and went from feeling anxious about work to feeling prepared and eager knowing I'm going to save the rest of the week from turning into a weight gain.
