Good for you for beating back the diet police!! Eating when you're hungry is normal - even if it happens to be midnight

So I'm pretty new to IEing. Today, I was hungry twice. I had cerealthe first time and a ham sandwich the second time. (The sandwich wasbig.) I waited and waited to get hungry again but it never happened.Until now. Midnight! I'm going to have some au gratin potatoes.My diet mentality is SCREAMING at me not to eat at midnight. It'stelling me it's all emotional/mental (even though my stomach isgrowling) and some last-ditch effort not to let the evening end orsomething. It's telling me how if I eat now, all the fat will "stick"because after this, I'll be asleep.I'm eating anyway, because, well, I'm HUNGRY, but my Diet Police arebeating me to death with their billy clubs.
