Slipping into Old Habits

I’ve been slipping into some old habits that I noticed would often contribute to overeating.

A couple of our friends recommended a new show for my husband and I to watch called “Severance”. We really enjoyed the mystery of it, and would sometimes stay up until 11:30pm watching the show.

In the past, staying up late watching shows also meant eating a late night snack. It became a paired habit. Watching the show late at night was triggering to the habit that was often paired with it. Eating late at night is clearly a habit I want to break, as well as watching shows late at night.

I do know that watching shows late at night will sometimes happen because life is full right now and evenings are often the only chance we get to relax. So, I am going to be aware of not staying up so late but more importantly, if I do stay up late, I will avoid habit pairing with a night snack. Being aware is half of the battle!
