After watching Dr Oz today, and I know knew this too, but I think another factor to my weight loss is my lack of sleep. Some reasons include, being sleepy makes you want to eat more, your burn more calories during REM sleep, and it also affects my hormones which causes me to have lower leptin and higher ghrelin. This increase and decrease makes me hungrier, crave more, and have less messages being sent saying that I've had enough. Maybe I should start recording hours of sleep I slept to encourage myself to sleep more.. Even after I graduated school, I still have a hard time getting enough sleep and I'm tired most of the time, mostly due to habit..

Last night hours of sleep = 5.5-6? i think
