Night time has always been my weakness. What's worse, my metabolism is as such that I can't eat at all after 7pm and still lose weight.

It will sound weird, but I've kinda tricked/trained my brain. Every night when I get the urge to graze, I take a hot bath and brush my teeth. Now, when I do, it's like my brain goes "oh ok, it's bath and clean teeth time, no more eating". I'm then fine the rest of the night.

I used to eat at night , especially after my husband went to bed, so he couldn't see what I was eating.. I would eat huge bowls of ice cream or Peanut Butter and crackers, chips, anything junky.. always went to bed with a full stomach.. since getting ready to be banded and after being banded if I feel hunger at night I drink something, then go to bed... my eating at night habit has stopped and I am truly sleeping better for the first time in years... I think it;s like any bad habit and can be broken.. mind over matter.

I also struggle with that. Drinking Water or hot tea helps.

At night is when my BIG SWEET TOOTH kicks in. I strugle with that so bad. I will sometimes have a cup of Decaf cofee with my fat free cream. Its 75 cals (way better than anything else sweet) . I love the sugestion to brush my teeth. I am going to try this tonight. Tks for the post.

If I am craving something sweet, I have one of my Bariatric Calcium chews. I ordered them from Amazon.< /p>

Sometimes I will also make half of a chocolate Protein shake and heat it up so it tastes like hot chocolate.< /p>
