Bad habits

denyselc1

Hi,
is anyone having the same issue... I am fine, not even hungry, enter the kitchen (in the evening only) and become crazy, want to eat just anything, (healthy only, but too much of it!) leave the kitchen, fine again... Problem is, yes, I have to be and stay in the kitchen to cook dinner!
Weird reaction, isn't?

I have to agree. Pretty weird.

Strange question but... do you clean up the kitchen soon after meals?

Or, are you the kind of person who waits until the end of the day to clean up everything?

Humor me, there's a reason I'm asking.

Do you have food that's visible when you enter the kitchen--open shelving, things on the counter, that kind of thing?

You could also allocate calories for a pre-dinner snack. If you know you want to eat something while you're cooking, then why not plan for that?

This is what I was thinking. Grab a piece of fruit or chop up some veg to nibble on while you cook, if that's something you want to do.

For me, when I'm cooking I'm generally anticipating dinner, so have no desire to eat other foods.
