Eating Habits: My Love for Eating Late
Okay, so this is one that am particularly guilty of. As a child, mom always made sure dinner was served before 7 p.m. As I transformed into an adult, I knew straight away that this was not going to work for me anymore….
Late in the night when everyone was asleep, I would tip toe my way to the kitchen, quietly maneuver through the darkness; wouldn’t want to turn on the lights so as not to draw too much attention. Finally, opening the fridge and hearing the sound of bottles clinking, the fridge light comes on and I’m thinking to myself; “which one will I take first?” a while later, am devouring some sweet treat even though I wasn’t even hungry. Then I tippy toe back to bed.
Over the years, even when I was away from home, I did this a lot; eat some now and save some for later. Friends always tell me “It’s not good to eat late, you will get fat, Ohh…. Please, at this point, weight isn’t my problem. I have always thought to myself; if there is food and you want some of it, Go straight ahead….. Eat. I mean you only have one life; Eat now, die later……Lol. In some way, this kind of applies to most things in life, I don’t know, maybe it’s just in my head. Not to say that am addicted to eating or anything.
Here comes the Christmas season, a time where there is plenty to eat, also meaning there is plenty to eat later; when everyone has gone to bed. This will just blow the situation out of proportion. So, after all this late night eating, I don’t see myself getting fatter.
Recently I did a research, only to find out that eating late does not make you fat, it’s what you eat at that time that makes you fat. According to some researchers from Israel that tested whether eating more at night actually leads to more weight gain. A study was conducted where they monitored people who eat their largest meal at breakfast against those who eat largest at night. They actually discovered that those who ate at night lost more fat. They also looked healthier all round than the breakfast guys. Wait…… this is not to say that you must now eat largest at night. It’s what you eat that determines if you gain or lose fat.
While I try my best to manage the situation, I also focus on the joy that this Christmas season brings. Family comes together, Eating and Drinking, Exchange of gifts, Singing, Love, Life, Laughter and Hope for what the coming year brings, because after all, we are the source of our own happiness.
Thank you for reading, Merry Christmas.
