Help Needed - Eating At Night

[Chicago1962 125]

I have lost 108 pounds since my surgery in June. I am thrilled and thankful.

For the last few weeks I find myself eating a lot when I get home from work - through the night. I eat a good dinner - but later I start to crave and munch on things like rice cakes and popcorn. I sometimes eat a Protein Bar because it's good and a bit crunchy (20 grams of protein).

Bottom line - I want FREEDOM from my food addiction!!!!! Don't we all? Any suggestions would be great. I still have 90 pounds to go and certainly don't want to hurt myself with food. This is when we learn super healthy habits - so I need your help to re-establish control, discipline and a bit of sanity in the midst of this insane food addiction! Grrrrr!!!!!!

Thank you, friends!

Is it maybe because the weather is changing? You mentioned that it is just in the last few weeks. What did you do before in the evenings? I know this sounds strange but do a bit of analysis of past habits. I know for me evenings is also a time to munch, or eat. I have tried an acid reducer which works and also, try to keep busy at home. Sometimes a hot beverage fills me up and takes away the desire to eat something. Congratulations by the way on your weight loss it is phenominal!!
