Hey. Today is day 7 of officially trying to buckle down and lose 20lbs. I've had 4 babies in 10 years and they are 100% worth every pound and stretch mark, but now that I'm done with that chapter of my life I would love to feel and look my very best and ditch my emotional eating habit brought on by the stresses of pregnancies/postpartum/being a mom of littles. :)
So. I am a 5'6" F at about 150lbs. I'm eating 1600 calories a day, which I believe is about a 500 calorie deficit, and doing the old BBG ebook (3x a week 28-minutes strength/HIIT type stuff and 3x a week of a 45min walk for LISS). I feel great during the day and not unreasonably hungry, even up until I go to bed around 9pm or 10pm each night, but HOLY MOLY I get ravenously hungry to the point that I wake up around 2am-3am every night. It's bizarre. Then I toss and turn the rest of the night.
I'm already saving calories for a snack right before bed (an apple with a little PB and a protein bar are things I've done so far) but wondered if anyone else has had this problem. I'm cranky and exhausted and don't know what to do. Taking Benadryl or something might work but I'm scared to get hooked on sleep aids.
Has anyone else dealt with this? If so, does it get better with time? Or did you find anything that helped?
