I have a very common pattern when I'm doing CICO: I pick a low goal, maintain it through the evening, then end up really hungry at 9 PM and eat "just one bite" of something over and over until I've binged.
Yesterday I started to get very, very, hungry at 9 PM. I went to the kitchen and nibbled "just a bite" off of some leftovers. Then I nibbled one more. Then ... I stopped! I realised I was hungry, and was going to continue eating even if I wasn't "supposed" to. I grabbed a small plate and grabbed a small, measured portion of the dish I wanted. I ate that, then went back to the living room. This put me over my calorie goal for the day by 200. That's still within range to lose weight, just more slowly The other way probably would have put me over by 600 to 1000.
Today, around the exact same time, I started picking bites off of some ravioli my husband left off. Once again, I realized what I was doing. I stopped ... and I grabbed 2 kiwis instead. I ended up eating way less, and I feel like I'm still on track to meet my goals.
My problem is I never want to admit to myself when I'm eating after I've reached my calorie limit. I make up excuses like "just a little bite" and derail my progress. I think acknowledging that I'm about to overeat and portioning it out instead of trying to sneak it and lie to myself will hopefully help my progress.
