Unmasking Eating Habits

I have an irrational fear of being hungry later. It basically means that I'll eat more now if I think I won't have access to food later, and I think my bloodsugar might drop (which it will if I don't eat protein regularly.)

I think that I end up overeating out of fear that my sugar levels will drop, and I won't be mentally or emotionally as stable as I need to be for the stretch of time before my next meal. Our society's snacks tend to be high carb or sugary, so I try to avoid them -- well, except for chocolate, that is. If I do snack I try to make it something like yogurt or nuts. But then I'll eat too much of them if I think dinner might be delayed for any reason.

Hmm!!!
