Hi Joy,
I think you've gotten some good advice already, which
I'm basically just going to re-iterate.
You mention that you wake up thirsty, and then wind up
eating. It's interesting (and positive) that you even
notice this because thirst can easily be confused for
hunger. If you keep this in mind and drink up, your
hunger really should diminish.
As for the junk in the house, if you can't get rid of
it, could you at least ask your husband and grandson
to keep their stash somewhere less in your face? Ice
cream might be difficult, but chips and cookies don't
need a refrigerator. They can easily be stashed
somewhere less conspicuous (or even better, hidden!).
Let them know how important it is. If even this isn't
feasible, you have to draw a firm line. If it can't
physically be gone then it has to be psychologically
completely off limits. This is really hard, but I
don't think there's an alternative (which is why
persuading your family is really the better way to go
if at all possible).
As for the excessive S-days, don't worry too much
about that right now. It will happen in the beginning
(and even occasionally later on). It's just not that
important, in the grand scheme of things. The daily
chips and ice-cream and 3 am snacks are a far more
important issue. That's what you've got to focus your
limited resources on.
Fruit is certainly much better than junk, but I'd be
wary about eating too much between meals. It can be an
excuse to make those meals extra junky.
Good luck!
Reinhard
