Late Night eating, and suggestions?

[Carol Conley 0]

For years my husband never saw me take a bite of food because he would criticize me. We have cleared all that up and he is great now (we've been married 38 yrs now). I am a "night person" and no matter how early I get up I still stay up late. I used to eat after my husband went to bed and I still really want to snack late at night. That is so stupid! I know I'm not hungry but I still crave something to eat usually it is not something good for me. This in not a band thing it is a brain thing. When I was in WW my coach suggested I "replace" the activity of eating with another activity. So I replaced eating with "skin care rituals". My skin looked alright but the cravings were still there and I would usually satify them. That is why I'm here, banded, and still trying to overcome years of loving my late night friend, food! I would like to know if any of you have had this problem and how you deal with it. I can go all day and never feel hungry but then....!:phanvan I have done OK since my surgery but it seems to be getting harder. My Brain doesn't want SF Jello. It wants Cheeto's or something else that I will overeat. If anybody has any suggestions I will try anything!

WEll I AM NOT SURE THAT I CAN HELP BUT I LOVE TO EAT AT NIGHT AND BOY COULD I PACK IT AWAY AND STILL I EAT MORE IN 2 HOURS AT NIGHT THAN I DO ALL DAY...BUT I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT THEY PUT DOWN ON A PAPER OR IN A BOWL AND THEN THAT IS WHAT THEY EAT FOR THE DAY AND SO IF YOU SAVE IT THEN YOU COULD EAT IT.. ALSO I KNOW SOMEONE WHO ALLOWS THEMSELVE ONE BITE OF 2-3 THINGS AT NIGHT AND THEY SAY THE ONE BITE IS ENOUGH..
