I was right.
I'm eating at night to stay awake.
The first couple hours watching TV were fine. I wasn't hungry and was interested in the shows. I enjoyed it.
Then I started to get sleepy. And started dozing off. And became uncomfortable. Physically and mentally.
So I got a couple snacks, woke up, and watched TV again. Hmmmm.....going to have to work on this one and how I want to manage it. If I go to bed (I've done that), I become wide awake after dozing off for a minute or so. Bed really isn't an option. Maybe doing something different? Reading? Sewing? Crafting? I'm going to have to think on this. ;)
Secondly, new discovery again about myself. Yesterday I had a hard time in general waiting for hunger. I just sort of grazed through food all day. When it got to be evening, I considered waiting for hunger. My conversation in my head went something like this...
"I'm really not hungry, I should wait a bit to eat."
"The beauty of eating this way instead of dieting is that I can start over anytime."
"I could start over now."
"But I ate so much today I won't feel hunger again tonight so I'll just keep eating."
Whoa....what?!?!?
What was that?!?!?
So a reason I haven't been following IE in the evening is because I know I'm not going to be hungry because I already ate so much?!?!?
Well.
Interesting.
Wouldn't it make more sense to follow it all day, knowing that without a doubt I will have hunger again?
Something to think about.

It sounds like you are succeeding with the self examinations that comes with practising intuitive eating.
