Let's talk about what habits we have, good and bad, and how we become addicted to them.
It is related to my bad habit and the "night snack" that I am sure about addiction with my efforts to try to give up after learning that I have become addicted.
I do not have any weight problems. That's why I never held back on snacks no matter what time of the day. I tried to eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.
After a while, I was constantly triggered by the urge to eat something close to bedtime. And each time, I succumbed to this urge and suppressed my hunger with always ready and easy-to-prepare foods.
I decided to give up this habit as I started to closely follow some programs related to maintaining a healthy life. I did not think that I would have any problems in the application.
But I noticed that the habit I mentioned became an addiction, especially near my bedtime and during my online studies. It was such an addiction that even the food advertisement that appeared in the middle of any movie I watched was enough to trigger my impulse and my willpower was defeated every time. Suddenly I found myself in the kitchen.
I say it like I'm out of this situation, but no. This addiction is still with me. I think that I need to eat something late at night and I make preparations in advance for my snack times and put them in the freezer. For this, I even compromise my shopping rule that I don't like. I go shopping just to buy special treats for snack times.
Fortunately, we are now in the month of Ramadan and I am fasting. I use the freedom to eat and drink to the fullest between iftar and sahur in the evening, and I don't have any difficulties as the part from sahur to iftar coincides with the daytime.
Although I do not have a weight problem and this does not reflect negatively on my physique, I want to get rid of my addiction to night snacks and ready-made foods due to the high cholesterol and blood fat ratio. I want to do this by eating healthy food, without using additional medical or herbal remedies to lower cholesterol.
No matter what I eat for main meals, I can consume all kinds of useful and healthy foods. I'm not picky about vegetables or food. The habit I want to quit is only about snacking the night before bed. On the one hand, I think about the pressure of going to bed as soon as possible, and on the other hand, I don't want permanent deterioration in my health due to hastily prepared snacks because of my tendency to eat snacks.
I have nothing to say about the taste of snacks, but it is a bad habit and addiction that I have to give up even if I don't want to because it negatively affects the health aspect.
Although I haven't completely gotten rid of this addiction yet, I hope that I can get rid of my habit of snacking at night and online, before it's too late, due to the busy work season.
Health is our most important wealth that cannot be bought with any value.
