night time snacking

nhanson · March 9, 2009

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for how to control night time snacking. I am able to have great will power all day-but I have the hardest time controlling my eating in the evening. I am not hungry - I know I am not hungry....Oy! I have been at a plateau for 2 months now and am getting frustrated especially since I only have 20 pounds left to get to goal.

Hi. We must be sisters.... or twins maybe. I could have written your post - well - except for the almost to goal part. I too can do great all day, and then blow it at night. It's like I just lose my mind. I'm sure knowing you are not alone is not the help you were looking for, but... thank you for the post, and I will be anxious to read the replies. Maybe we could live together and keep each other out of the kitchen at night :confused: Good luck!!

I'm really struggling right now. I'm in the middle of writing my dissertation and under a tremendous amount of stress at work. I've been snacking like crazy...a cookie here and there and just overall bad choices with Snacks. During the day I'm great...no bad choices at all.

I always struggle with snacking, especially since I'm a night owl. I keep a bag of small apples in the fridge just for that. It satisfies my desire for something sweet, and it lasts a long time because I have to chew, chew, chew. It's low in calories and it helps me get in enough Fiber, something I've struggled with since being banded.

Have you tried having a hot milky drink at nights? for some it fills them up, relaxes them & good for a sleep..or low calorie Soup?

ive put up couple pics of myself one before & one during in the food cupboards..reminds me how well i am doing

I always snack in the evenings. I allot for it though throughout the day. I know that I am gonna want trail mix or something so I just keep the portions smaller in the mornings to make up for it.
