a confession...

tinglesby

I have a confession to make. As i was reading WebMD yesterday, i came across some info that really opened my eyes to what I've been struggling with the past few weeks. it may seem trivial to you but really bothers me. ive really come to the realization that when i dont get enough sleep (I've only been getting about 4 1/2-5 hours a night mon-fri) i really tend to eat more and seem to be famished!! webMD states that lack of sleep will do that to you. i know people say not to self-diagnose, but this really applies to me. Since i have switched shifts, I've been eating like a mad woman, and only half logging my food. (Thank God this shift is only temporary!! ) Im sorry for that. I feel like my thoughts are consumed with food; I feel obsessive almost. Ill be having a great day food-wise, then all of a sudden I get this overwhelming urge for something so junky and i give in, and then feel totally ashamed afterward. I hope Im not oversharing, i just had to get this off my chest and felt that my MFP friends might lend a supportive ear(eye). I vow from this day forward to be more honest with my logging. All the hard work ive been doing in the gym means nothing if my food isnt supportive of that effort. thanks for letting me vent.
