 female, 58 years old Kent, WA | November 8, 2009, 10:34 pm Nocturnal OmissionsI've thought for a long time that there is something wrong with me, or with the way I have been "dieting" on NM. I haven't had the kind of weight loss that I have seen others enjoy. I know that during the GDC I screwed up a lot, because I would tend to way overeat weight loss calories in order to get green. After the challenge, I shut down my logs so that I don't have to be accountable to anyone but myself, so that I can learn to live with the occasional red bar instead of obsessing and overeating to get every bar green every day. But I'm not here to talk about my logs.Okay, so I use a CPAP machine, and I take sleeping pills so that the machine doesn't wake me up all night. What's the point of using a machine to get better sleep if the machine wakes you up multiple times during the night? But I'm not here to talk about my CPAP machine. I have noticed a few times, that I eat "stuff" late at night after my sleeping pill, but I'm really not consciously aware of it until the next day. Like last night it was 1/2 a TJ's dark chocolate bar. When I went in my room this afternoon, I saw the 1/2 consumed bar and then remembered eating it, and went and logged it. And this is what I'm here to talk about. Later this afternoon, I opened the refrigerator and found an open jar of TJ's queso dip I had bought yesterday, with about 1 serving of 2 tablespoons gone from it. I turned to my husband and asked if he liked the queso dip. He didn't have any queso dip. This does not surprise me, as even taco bell mild sauce makes him break out in a horrible sweat. I think it's a sort of allergy to chilies. After thinking about it, I remembered that I ate some chips and bruschetta after my pill last night. I went to my log, and there they were. I logged them. But no sign of queso dip. Now, I find this deeply disturbing on several levels. I'm wondering if I have eaten with no recollection of the event in the past without leaving any evidence. I'm wondering if I ate things that I later assumed my husband had eaten when I found an empty box, bottle, or bag, and "knew" I hadn't eaten it. I've been pondering this event for several hours, and STILL have no recall of having eaten it. Dan said that maybe it was open when I bought it. But there was no reason it would have been in the fridge had that been the case. All the other stuff from my trip to TJ's was still in the shopping bag on the table. I had removed nothing, and I'm not in the habit of refrigerating stuff before I open it anyway. Locking up all the food in the house is not an option. Tying myself to the bed is also not an option. I guess I'm just still trying to come to terms with the gravity of this situation. The good news is: TJ's has some awesome queso cheese dip.
