So, since it's summer (and as a teacher, I am on summer break!) I have no REAL bed time, so I have been up past midnight every night recently. And with this, I've been tackling an old problem that has honestly been a struggle for me since high school, what I call my "hungry brain" or the midnight munchies. In high school, my mom policed food in our house (don't worry, I never went hungry!) and I always felt like I had to sneak/steal food late at night. The things I would take were usually pantry items and not always even that good. I'd eat crackers or dried pasta, things like that. My parents would find out and I'd get in trouble, but my habits never changed. To this day, Hungry Brain is something I still struggle with, but I'm trying to do something about it... Hence, this post!!! The easiest solution for this would be to go to bed earlier, but let's be honest, that's not always reality. So, for now, when I'm tempted to eat at night, I'll stop and blog instead. It's a distraction and a record of my struggles. This is a real struggle for me. I hope, with progress, this struggle will get easier, but it will always be a struggle for me. Life if a journey, not a destination. And I plan to make the most of my journey!!!
