Here is a good reason why I should start going to bed promptly at 8:00 p.m. I am extremely good all day: yogurt for breakfast, peanut butter sandwich and an apple for lunch, healthy snack of something like applesauce, carrots, and celery, and then a good protein-filled dinner.

Here is my typical afternoon snack. YUM. 

And then suddenly it's 7:00 and I MUST EAT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. I consume about 4 pumpkin cookies, 2 glasses of chocolate milk, and sometimes a bowl of air-popped popcorn or a sleeve of crackers.  I just don't know how to keep myself satiated and it's quite an aggravating problem. I really don't crave junk food at all, but night hits and I crave everything that's full of starches and sugar and delicious. I know, this is the ultimate first-world problem, but really, having a fast metabolism kind of sucks--I have a really weak digestive system so I know that if I eat anything after dinner I'm going to feel like puking all night and the next morning. I understand that I'm probably not eating enough protein during the day...so I guess I must look deeper into this problem...

I really don't crave junk food that much anymore (and I mean real junk food). I don't eat fried foods unless it's fried zucchini patties or something of that sort. I don't like processed cakes and cookies, I don't eat bags of candy, sweet coffee drinks, french fries, etc. It makes me sick to think of eating anything sweet or fried before about three o' clock. I love the feeling of eating delicious, colorful, healthy food. I don't know how I got to be this way, but I'm glad I did. I'm sure people think I'm a party pooper or snob because I don't go out and binge eat at parties and stuff, but that's okay. I'd rather not spend the night throwing up or downing a bottle of peptobismol.
