Hello sunandsmiles!
I take it from reading between the lines that your problem is binging at night?
Think About All Of The Steps Involved:
1. The thought enters your mind that you want to cheat.
2. You decide to take action on the thought.
3. You stand up.
4. You walk over to the fridge, door (to go to the store), or phone (to order food).
5. You open the fridge door, grab your keys and unlock the door, or dial the phone (after looking through your pile of menus and picking one out).
6. You reach into the fridge and start searching around, walk out your door to the store or sit and wait the fast food delivery man.
7. Etc...
These are definitely a lot of steps! And there are many in between I have probably missed as well. So as we see here, there are 7 opportunities to reason with your own mind, and think "ok, do I really want to kill all my hard work in the gym by eating something that will only award me temporary satisfaction, and make me look/feel worse?"
You can read the entire article at: Late Night Binge Eating. It is really a good read and I believe addresses some of your question. Check it out and see if it helps!
