I’m on a diet, but last night I couldn’t resist and ate the rest of the baklava in the fridge. This morning, my mom said, “Honestly, someone seems really stressed, the sweet box is empty again,” but she didn’t directly ask. It wasn’t exactly accusatory, but I wouldn’t say I wasn’t embarrassed. Now, what should I do to fix this? Should I just confess directly, or should I act like it wasn’t my fault?
Do food cravings happen every night, or was it just last night? I got the feeling you’re going through a stressful time 
I’ve been through the same thing. For a while, I was constantly bothering the cupboard at night, and in the morning, my mom would always know. I didn’t even notice it was due to stress.
@kahvenekadar honestly, I don’t do it very often, but lately, there’s been quite a bit of stress. Just as I was trying to get back on track with my diet, suddenly this attack happened 
Hey, I have a question: why would you confess this to your mom? I don’t think you should get involved at all; she didn’t directly accuse you anyway. It’ll just be forgotten and blow over.
Nighttime eating crises can often be related to emotional hunger. Especially during periods of stress, increased cortisol levels trigger appetite. To prevent this from becoming a long-term habit, you might try increasing your protein intake during the day. Also, whether or not you keep tempting foods in the fridge is important.
@yanukvideo you are so right, if I were you, I wouldn’t spoil the atmosphere at all. Who cares, dear, just think of it like it’s your right. But the embarrassment here is so hilarious, I would be dying of shame
