@mindfoodsteph: Waking up in the middle of the night to eat? 🌙 There are TWO common pathways that can contribute to nighttime eating: 1️⃣ Physical restriction: You barely eat throughout the day, leaving your body trying to catch up at night. 2️⃣ Psychological restriction: You eat throughout the day, but everything is controlled, measured and governed by food rules. You may be physically fed but still feel psychologically deprived. 💡 Nighttime eating isn’t always about a lack of willpower. Understanding what’s driving it is the first step towards change. 👉 Follow me for more psychology-based insights into food freedom and eating behaviour. ⚠️ Disclaimer: Nighttime eating can have multiple causes, including medical, psychological and sleep-related factors. This is general education, not an individual diagnosis or treatment advice. #NighttimeEating #FoodFreedom #binge #psychology #nighteating
