The hardest thing for me is to stop eating before bedtime. I always have the majority of my calories right before I go to sleep. Today I will try not to eat 4 hours before bedtime. Time to overcome, this bad habit.

    If that doesn't work well for you, you can always save your cals and eat them closer to bedtime

    There is nothing wrong with eating late at night. total calories is what matters, not when you eat them. If you have trouble sleeping on an empty stomach, save some calories for end of the night.

    I struggle with this too. I'm awake from 630am with my baby, then work till 2am. Its hard not to have a snack before bed as I would have had my dinner at 6pm. But I don't want to get in the habit of it. My stomach just wants it so bad haha

    Surf the urge. Ride the wave.

    First, recognize that you're having a craving.

    Settle into accepting that, "OK, I'm going to be having a craving here for a little while," "I don't need to push it away; I don't need to do anything but follow the urge surfing procedure.

    A really bad craving might last half an hour but they always pass.

    "Cravings are like waves," "They rise up, and they fall back down. What you're going to do is just ride through that wave."

    The more times you do this, the more confidence you build.

    I've always eaten most of my calories late at night. It hasn't stopped me from successful, long-term maintenance. As long as you stay within your calorie goals, you should be fine.

    Great job! I struggle with eating at night, too, but you know what? A fitness coach friend told me the best thing to do when you get the nighttime munchies is to just go to bed. Just go right on to bed, and when you get up in the morning you'll feel lighter and better — just from not giving in to those nighttime cravings.

    It's not that it's always a bad thing to eat late at night, but if you're eating all during the day and you have no calories left for late at night, that's when it can get you in trouble. Keep pushing through these next few days and before long, you'll have established a new habit.

    Seems like today will be no issue for me grabbing any food at night. Even though i would like something sweet.
