Eat more when you are alone?

I sure do! Terrible habit, but I am tempted to binge the most when no one is home. Luckily this does not happen often, and I've been able to be good since I started my healthy food journey.
HOWEVER- my husband just left for a 4 day trip out of town...and I already find myself looking forward to what I can eat tonight when DD is in bed. :embarassed: And I only have 110 cals left....this is NOT going to end well!!! :ohwell:

    It depends. Sometimes I binge, but more often, I forget about eating entirely. There's been times my husband went away for a weekend, and I'd forget to eat anything until evening.

    I am exactly the same! Although I don't look forward to what I am going to eat, instead I know that the munchies will come as they always do in the evening and without my hubby there to persuade me not to indulge I will give in and binge!
    My hubby is going away for a month and I am so afraid of those nights alone with my cravings!

    I have that problem. For the past three years, my husband and I have been working opposite shifts so I've hardly seen him in that time. I found that the times he was home, I was much better about my choices because I knew he would make a comment about it. Now that he's home all the time though, I am finding I have a different food problem. He likes fattening foods, covered in cream sauces or cheese. I don't miss those foods when I don't make them but now that he eats here again, I cook some of those things and wind up eating more of it than I should. My biggest weakness is dessert...and he likes those to be around every night. So, in short, I am in trouble either way. lol

    Maybe you should plan your daggy exercise DVDs when he's not around like zumba or hip hop?

    That is a great idea, but one I cant do right now...I injured my knee and have been unable to exercise...sigh. I miss it! (and the extra calories it gave me!) LOL
