You might be thinking, “I’m fine with my eating all day and then I F it up at night…”
If this resonates with you, here are five reasons why this might be happening:
1. Over-Restricting Through the Day
You might be restricting your calories too much during the day—whether it’s unintentional because you’re busy or intentional because you’re worried about overeating at night. This restriction can lead to night-time binges as your body craves what it’s been missing.
2. Food guilt and shame
If you’re avoiding certain foods during the day because you feel ashamed, you might end up indulging in them when you’re alone at night. This can lead to overeating in an attempt to "get rid of" the food, which only compounds the guilt and shame.
3. Emotional masking
Night-time can be when you’re alone with your thoughts and feelings. If you use food to distract yourself from negative emotions, it can result in overeating. Recognising and addressing these emotions can help you break this cycle.
4. Boredom
Sometimes, night-time eating is simply a result of boredom. If you’re not engaged in meaningful activities, you might turn to food out of habit rather than genuine hunger. Finding alternative activities can help shift your focus away from eating.
5. Autopilot patterns
You may have developed a pattern of eating at night, whether it started as a positive or negative behaviour. Over time, this can become an automatic response, leading you to eat on autopilot rather than making intentional choices.
