hot tea is perfect, there are some yummy dessert type teas that are calorie free
Good luck!!!

sounds interesting, care to share more? lol Never heard of these type, or least I can't recall

Thanks for any info:flowerforyou:

So for hot teas that taste like dessert...yummy...lol My most current favorite one is made by Celestial Seasonings, its Chocolate Caramel Enchantment Chai; its just regular boxed/tea bags tea, not the premade mixes....Has zero cals, carbs, sugars and such... I add in a bit of Splenda and a splash of 1/2 and 1/2 or milk, not enough to even add 20cals in there. The cream/milk makes it a bit thicker and creamy. This helps a ton with my sugar cravings. i think any chai would would work well, but this one..I just couldn't pass up. Think I'll make a cup now..I brought the box over here to type it out...lol and it smells soooooo good.

Those teabags smell so good that I put them in my drawer like a sachet!!

haha YES they do YUM The box is still on my desk...yummo

I'm in the exact same situation as you!
For the past month, I've been eating super well during the day, but crash after dinner. I've tried getting myself to stop today, but ended up pigging out on chocolate coconut milkshakes. :embarassed:

Ok so I totally do the same thing, by the end of the evening it a pb & j or bowl of cereal... I hate it cause I will do good all day and then bam eat junk. I know the things that do help for me is if i dont eat dinner till at least 6:30 pm cause that is a little later in my day and I can stay pretty full till bed or if I workout after dinner that makes me not hungry... Today will be the first day in 2 weeks that i dont gorge myself in the evening, so good luck to you and me... I try drinking water or if i do get hungry i bought some apple sauce cause its sweet and low in cal let me know how it goes...

Yes, we are all there, or have been- hell of a nasty place to be but try this scottish remedy, at seven at night eat a bowl of porridge oats made with milk and add fresh strawberries and blueberries. Just text me back and let me know how it went-wanna bet your not hungry anymore, if so take up crocheting, it keeps your hands busy, or knitting
good luck xxxx

I have a few end of day snacks that I try to keep close by that won't ruin my day. First is the Dove Dark Chocolate silky smooth promises. They're only 42 calories per single piece so they're great for the chocolate cravings. Plus, the darker the chocolate, the more healthy it is for you and the less you'll crave! Next is Edy's Fruit Bars (no sugar added). They are 25 calories for one ice pop and they are pretty dang yummy. I prefer the strawberry. :blushing: And lastly, for days that I've been pretty good and had a hard workout at the gym, I have the Skinny Cow low fat ice cream sandwiches. They are 140 calories and are quite a treat if you've been shying away from the sweets.

Another thing I've done is I've set my diary up so that it wants me to eat 1500 calories a day. I eat at least 1200 and then depending on the day I'll eat between the 1200 and the 1500. I also allow myself a cheat day every once in a while. I've always heard that if you keep yourself from the things you want then you'll go crazy once you have it. I could eat dark chocolate all day every day so giving myself the individual wrapped ones as treats keeps me from eating a whole pound in one sitting! :blushing:

I also really like the suggestions of chewing gum or brushing your teeth. I may try that to stop the after gym munchies!
