dclary Hi lilybug, thank your for your input. I do think a lot of my "food cravings" come from habit. I haven't gotten myself into the habit of eating something right before I go bed...I know, pretty dumb but I just can't seem to help myself...lol.

dclary I think I could stop but when I'm up late working, I just get the notion that I want to eat something, usually a bowl of cereal or left overs from dinner. I think you are correct in saying that people around me wouldn't say anything because I have put on some...

dclary It is funny how the brain works. I had a friend of mine ask me if I eat excessively because of boredom. I had to ponder on that for a while and wonder if there would be some truth to that as well.

Are you afraid of the dark? Why or Why Not? I would have to say yes and no. If I'm in the room with my husband or someone is with me, than I'm not bothered by it. However, if I'm by myself I tend to get uneasy. Even when I get up...

dclary Hi ednasgomez. My husband has a hard time going to sleep if there is a light on as well. The television doesn't bother him but he doesn't like the actual light being on.

dclary Hi trishasantos. I have to admit, I like the dark as well but only if I'm not alone...lol. I don't like it being pitch black because just like others have stated, it is the fear of the unknown, what might be hiding in the shadows...lol

dclary That makes sense. It is funny how our minds perceive things. We could stand in room with only one door and the lights on and we are fine, yet when the lights are shut out our mind automatically allows id to fear what we know is not there.

dclary Hi xdrowninghavocx. We keep our television on as well, it least it allows me to actually "see" around my room. I guess I think when it is pitch black something or someone is going to jump out of my closet....lol

dclary Hi ladym. I agree 100%! I leave my TV on all night at least it provides a little light. I'm alright if I can actually see around the room, even if it is only slightly lighted.

dclary Hi granite_butterfly, thank you for responding and thanks for the advice, I think I will do some research on this. I wonder how many people are actually addicted to food?

dclary Thank you for responding jammy. It's strange, I don't eat all day until dinner and then I tend to pick at something for the remainder of the evening. Sometimes it is just because I crave the taste of something.

dclary Hi summerchick. Personally, I would say that I am on both sides of the fence with this one. On one hand, I believe a woman's body is hers to do with as she wishes yet I think legal abortion makes it an easy way out for young girls that get pregnant. I have...

dclary lol...I would love to have some "me time" but I don't see it happening any time soon. Being the only one working my business, I have more than enough work to stay busy and even if I did take a break, I would just worry about the work that needs to be done.
