Debbie Cousins's Journal, 07 February 2019

I went to bed at 8pm last night. I had taken my THREE Trazadone (sleep meds), as usual. BUT, instead of falling asleep, I lay there, semi-paralyzed, freezing to death (even though it was 68-71 in the house, depending on which thermostat you look at). I lay there for THREE HOURS, TRYING to go to sleep, and cold, but too tired to get up and put on a jacket or put the hair dryer in the bed with me! Finally, at 11pm, I got up (NOT in a good mood), and made myself a cup of hot chai tea. All would have been fine if I would have stopped there. But, I stood there, half asleep at the kitchen counter, and decided what "I really needed" was a piece of toast with butter and peanut butter on it. I COULD have just put in all the first numbers, and just NOT checked the "Bite-it-Write-it" box, and nobody would have been the wiser. BUT, in my mind, that would have been cheating. I ALSO entertained the deceptive thought of just putting the toast on TODAY's Food Diary and working around it to keep my numbers right. The ole devil had already WON by convincing me that I "needed" something to eat which I didn't - I wasn't going to give him a second victory by letting him get me to lie about it! I'm starting this morning in a very bad mood, as well - but with a clear conscious, at least.

Good work Debbie. I think once we start to hide these things we are a bit of trouble. And they happen so no worries

Your not alone with the kitchen night time struggle 🙋🏼‍♂️ I feel sometimes I’m almost sleep walking to the fridge , I lay their restless as well and figure if I get up and move around it will make me fall back asleep , it works but only after I’ve eaten something on the way 😬

Been there, done that and the kitchen looks like a crime scene the next morning. Of course you write it. No one is here to judge and if they do they aren't your friend.

A nice hot bath with Epsom salts makes me sleepy in a pinch.

Sounds like thyroid or menopause or both. Might want to see a doctor!

Wow! Thanks for sharing. You did alright tho. Not that bad! Except for the sleep part. A nap and a healthy choice when you get stirring again is in tall order. You'll be ok. Time marches on.

Proud of our fearless leader! Peanut butter toast happens. I didn't want to track my wine because Fatsecret is suggesting that I join the "drinking wine and losing" forum for people who won't give it up.
