One major reason that it can feel like you so desperately want to just eat at the end of the day in order to decompress (even if you're not actually hungry- often called night time eating or emotional eating)- is because WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY NEEDING IS:

TO CALM YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM.

A lot of women find themselves eating late night because their nervous systems are still activated from that day -- in fact, for many of us (*me included!) -- our nervous system is activated DAILY in our modern day world. Even multiple times on any given day.

I hear this a lot... "Brenda, I know that overeating is keeping me from my goal, but I just don't know ANY other way to unwind. Nothing else seems to work. It feels like ONLY food can give me just get a little bit of relief from EVERYTHING."

I want you to know that ALL of this makes SO MUCH SENSE. Also know: there IS a solution.

I recently heard somewhere (*I can't remember where or I’d quote it) --> that the average person TODAY hears more news in ONE DAY, then we used to hear in a year. edge.com/production-standard-emoji-assets/13.0/google-medium/1f92f.png" alt=":exploding_head:">

As soon as I heard that, I thought to myself, Holy shit. Yes. That completely makes sense. Our brain wasn’t necessarily wired for the way that our modern-day life is set up these days... (*but again, there are solutions...)

This doesn’t have to be a problem.
