So. I have issues with hoarding calories all day only to have a million left at night. I end up spending them on crap just use them. I think I found a solution to my problem.
The last few days, I filled in the journal in the morning with every meal I planned to eat. Seeing the calories I had left over for snacks seemed to ease the anxiety of "OMG! I'm gonna starve if I don't save some for later!"
Tonight I have 189 calories left as opposed to 500. To me that is a much better nighttime snack size. I also got to have my mocha coffee earlier.
Less anxiety. Less growling tummy. I think this is something I can make a permanent habit.
I now see how important the planning aspect can be... I wish I didn't blow it off as unnecessary for so long.
