Ruthie’s step 63…. Gaining weight? Go to sleep!
You Might Be Gaining Weight Because of Lack of Sleep
The body functions best when well rested.
I know with the weight loss I am sleeping so much better. I feel my fat was smothering me!
When you're tired, you also don't handle stress as well, so you may reach for food. You may be taking in extra calories from late-night snacking.
Symptoms that you may not be getting enough rest include fatigue, low energy levels, nodding off easily, and feeling irritable. Read step 21.
Your energy should be increasing as you loose weight but sometimes when you are a newbie to exercise you will be tired. This happen to me! My body just wasn’t used to be so active and I wore down. Plus being over 50 I am a little slower by nature. Read step 32.
Strive to get eight hours of sleep each night.
I don’t get this much but I try!
Add about 15 minutes to your bedtime and see how you feel. Continue to experiment with additional 15-minute increments until you find the amount of sleep that is right for you.
When you develop good sleeping habits and get regular exercise, you sleep better.
Keep on keeping on……making better choices for a healthier you!
