These days, our lives are so busy and the demands of mere existence are
staggering. It’s easy to be busy all day, every day, working yourself
to the bone, and at the end of the day be tired — really, really
tired.

But then we stay up longer, pushing ourselves further and
further anyway. The next day we start out tired, and it’s downhill from
there. An endless cycle.

I have found in myself and with my clients that when we’re extremely
tired, we crave energy.
I’ll do anything to get it, including the total abandonment of my food
plan. I often end up desperately grabbing carbohydrates (like candy for
quick energy), or protein in large amounts, and then have to work it
out within the limits of my Joy of Weight Loss Food Plan later on. And
I feel guilty too! If only I could just get some rest when I need
energy!

So — I recommend getting enough sleep.  Make it a priority.
