Earlier I posted about how I have a rash. Well, it didn’t get any better over the course of the day and I was feeling super run down when I got home so I took a Benedryl since I think it may be an allergic reaction. Now I feel completely disorriented and lethargic. It’s so weird. I’ve never taken Benedryl before.
Before I took it I snacked a bunch at home and realized the Number One Reason Why I Overeat/Binge is = I’m tired. I actually discovered it last week and after a few episodes of snacking in the kitchen I identified why I was doing it – I’m tired! So, I have to make a huge effort to do something else and stay away from food when I’m tired.
Here are the eats I recorded from today…no explanation as I am wasted.
Even though I’m high I was able to add beans to Annie’s Mac ‘n Cheese for protein. I am a genius.
Other foods from today…
I’ve got to go to sleep! I feel weird.
Tomorrow – I thought up a Personal Challenge for myself on my walk home – Stay tuned as I’ll talk about it tomorrow!
I agree with you completely, Monica,
The top reasons I binge (on carbs, of course) are because I’m either tired, lonely or my self-esteem has been pummeled.
Way too many reasons to eat other than being hungry!!
And I apologize for the self-promotion, but i really want to help all the women like me who can’t seem to stop binging.

Aww feel better!! I tried Annie’s mac and cheese for the first time last week and it was awesome! I tend to binge/overeat because I’m bored or tired. What the heck is up with that?!
Yeah I love benadryl for this reason… Your blog posts are pretty hilarious! I think I overeat when I’m tired too.
My doctor recommends benadryl for occasional insomnia . I couldn’t ever take it in the day. I’d be in a coma or something! 🙂
I eat when I’m tired too, more reasons to stop and think what I really need to make full energy from my body!
Hope you get to feeling better Monica.
benadryl totally makes me feel all loopy too. over the winter i was on iv antibiotics and they also injected me with iv benadryl because my toe was all itchy and literally 3 seconds later when i stood up i had to sit back down haha!
