In this episode, we explore the common challenge of nighttime eating—why it happens, what it really means, and how to work through it. Nighttime cravings often feel uncontrollable, but they may actually be a signal from our bodies asking for something other than food. Join me as I dive into my own experience with nighttime eating, the habits that fuel it, and the mindset shifts that can help us find peace and balance in the evenings.
 
Key Points

Identifying Triggers for Nighttime Eating: Many of us experience nighttime cravings as a way to decompress after a busy day. It's often a habit built from constantly giving to others without allowing time for ourselves.
Transitioning from People-Pleasing to Self-Care: Learning to prioritize personal needs throughout the day can help reduce the need to 'reward' ourselves with food at night.
Mindful Eating vs. Mindless Snacking: Exploring ways to enjoy food without relying on nighttime snacking as entertainment or comfort.
Redefining Nighttime: Instead of viewing nighttime as the only "me time," consider other ways to decompress, like relaxing activities, reading, or simply resting.
Breaking Old Habits: Strategies for recognizing when you’re eating out of habit or boredom and finding healthier ways to engage with those feelings.
The Power of Awareness: How acknowledging emotions without judgment can transform nighttime cravings from a struggle into an opportunity for self-compassion.
