I know this one is frustrating. You're capable, organized, running a whole life… and somehow a bag of chocolate wins every night.
Here's what I want you to hear. Evening cravings usually start hours earlier. A short night and a skipped lunch leave your body looking for the quickest energy it can find, and sugar is right there. In perimenopause, with sleep getting patchier and hormones shifting, that pull often gets stronger.
So before you blame your willpower, look at your day. Did you eat a real lunch? With a decent palm-sized serving of protein, not just an egg on a salad?
Start there this week. Just that one thing. Even small adjustments can add up to big change.
