"I can&amp;#039;t believe what I did 2 nights in a row this week:  After being so good all day, I ruined all my efforts in the evening.  It was 11pm and I wasn&amp;#039;t tired, there was nothing on TV, and everyone in the house was already in bed. Stupid me decided to straigten up in the kitchen -- unloaded the dishwasher, went through the mail, etc. Next thing I know, I&amp;#039;m sticking my hand into a big bag of gingersnap cookies.  Again, and again. MMM....gingersnaps. That was Wednesday night, and Thursday morning I woke up with the worst stomachache! I felt like a little kid who ate too much candy. Then comes Thursday night, and it&amp;#039;s the same deal: I&amp;#039;m puttering around, and there my hand goes, diving into a big bag of potato chips. Whatever commercial it was that said, &amp;quot;You can&amp;#039;t have just one&amp;quot; probably should&amp;#039;ve revised it to say, &amp;quot;You can&amp;#039;t have just one HANDFUL&amp;quot; because that&amp;#039;s me: handful after handful, I&amp;#039;m downing the chips. Okay, well, maybe it was more like 4-5 handfuls, which isn&amp;#039;t super disgusting but still -- they were big handfuls and it&amp;#039;s gross to eat that much right before bed. Not to mention that I was thirsty because of the salt on the chips and I chugged half a bottle of water. I then proceeded to get up twice in the middle of the night having to pee. WHY DID I DO THAT??????????  Both nights, I had had nice, healthy dinners on the early side (around 6:30/7) and I should&amp;#039;ve left it at that. I wish I could put a lock on the kitchen door. That way I couldn&amp;#039;t even get in if I wanted to.  I realize that the dieticians and psychologists would say that there was a mental reason that I did this -- emotional eating and whatnot. I&amp;#039;m not so sure. I think boredom plays the biggest part.  So how do I prevent this in the future?  By going post-it-note crazy. I now have post-it notes all over the fridge and cabinets that say, &amp;quot;Nicole! DO NOT PIG OUT! You will regret it.&amp;quot; I&amp;#039;m hoping they&amp;#039;ll stop me in my tracks next time -- because I&amp;#039;m realistic to know there will be a next time.... I&amp;#039;ll let you know if they help. How I was good today: Felt so guilty about the past two nights that I couldn&amp;#039;t stomach any food until 1pm. Then I ate half a turkey sandwich and an apple for lunch, and I plan on an equally health dinner. How I was bad today: Nothing yet. Again, too guilty. What I avoided today: The &amp;quot;build your own burger&amp;quot; station at the work cafe. Those burgers looked amazing! Thankfully the line was so long and I had little time, so it was easy to avoid it. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
