Night Eating

Anyone else out there that "night eats" -like gets up in sleep, sometimes eyes closed or open, eat food, typically empty caloric food or sugar or cereal or PB etc.
without realizng it until the next morning when you see it all over the bed or a trail of it into your room or living room?>

I need some insight or someone who can relate and perhaps knows some helpful ways to stop.

I have other food issues as well that I (honestly) sometimes blame on my PCOS. So its ok if your not a "match" story wise. That sounded stupid...anyway.

I did try not eating after 6pm (I go to bed early as I have a 2 yr. old boy)but then it triggered the boughts of night eating again-I have done it for 11 yrs. @ least. Its also due to stress.

?? How long you been BLMC? Are you currently very active in it?

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
