Eating Tired

Today I’m tired. The kind of bone-deep tired which usually results in fast food and chocolates and PB toast. It’s simply because I’ve had a long week and a late night last night. I’m looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow, followed by coffee witha friend and some shopping.

In the meantime, to head off a tiredness binge, i am going to remain aware of my eating today, and remind myself that food won’t make me feel better. I’m going to read my motivation list now.

I’ve also asked my colleague at the next desk to keep my box of biscuits in her desk so I don’t snack on them. That may be the most important moveĀ  of all - at least they’ll last long enough to be my planned snacks next week!

That’s the danger point, when you are so tired that you “need a sugar hit” and of course we don’t, because we just get an energy spike and another massive low point later on. Good strategies on your part. When I get that tired I plan to get an early night and I make sure I eat every
2 1/2 to 3 hours - plenty of (low fat) protein involvement! And water galore.
