It's going to be hard to break old habits at first! My motivation has been the calorie counter. I'm actually back to the "I can't eat that" mentality after less than a week of joining this site. Stay strong!!! We're all here for support!

Count it. Count it all. That's how it worked for me. Once I saw what I was actually consuming in black and white it was easier to stop. You will get there!

Also I plan my late night snack. First thing in the morning I enter my sweet snack into my counter to save the calories for later. That helped with all the random cravings too because I knew I was going to get a treat later.

Stay strong! You got this.

Why were you up at 3 AM in the first place? Resolve to go to bed by 10 PM if at all possible. Clear bedroom of anything that disturbs your sleep (cell phone, TV, an over-bright table clock, any source of light). Place a bottle of water by your bedside and if you wake up "hungry" remind yourself you're probably just thirsty.
Remember:
- Uninterrupted sleep is crucial for weightloss
- Uninterrupted sleep is crucial for good health - your body needs to heal from everything you put it through every day
- If you're thirsty, it means you're already dehydrated. Fight your impulse to eat at the first feeling of hunger - you're probably thirsty. Give it time. Then address hunger.

Good luck, friend. You got this!
