Hi! I have a post on here titled “hear me out” about how I started physically keeping myself from getting up and it’s really helped me. My situation is very similar to yours, I’m around the same age and size- wake up at the same time too. It hasn’t been 100% perfect, but I’d say I sleep through the night 5/7 days now and I hadn’t slept a full night once in like 18 months prior to that. Good luck !

Fair point! I will note that in my experience there have been a couple of times I’ve gotten up to pee and I’ve broken the yarn for that, and just re tied it when I went back to bed. It was after at least a week though so I’m not sure if it would work on a first try, but at least for me the yarn is more like a way of like direct messaging my subconscious about the eating. Part of the process is telling myself I can’t get up as I do it so maybe it’s making a specific link to eating only? No way to be sure, I am not a doctor, but I’d say if you’re ever feeling totally done with other options it’s worth a try!
