How to keep focused at night??

TiredMom12

I do great with my eating all day but once it comes to dinner time, and I get home iwth the kids after working all day, I loose all self control and pick and eat the wrong things and it is so stupid. I have in my head what I'm going to eat and before I even have a chance to think, I've picked at a zillion stupid high calorie foods b/c I'm hungry and stressed b/c the kids are cranky and tired. How can I change this bad habit? I also try and psych myself up to work out for 30 minutes after the kids go to bed, but by the time that happens and everything is ready for the next day, I'm exhausted. I end up sitting on the couch for 30 minutes iwth a glass of wine and DH and watch some TV. I'll never loose these 15 lbs. if I continue these bad habits. Uggh.

Replace it with a good habit! Don't keep junk food in your house and buy some baby carrots or cut up celery or get some unsalted almonds for a healthier evening snack while you wait for dinner. Try going to bed earlier too and you won't be as exhausted--and the wine definitely isn't helping your sleep, so cut that out too. Relax with a glass of herbal or caffeine free tea instead
