Does anyone have any tips for a late night snacker?

I can't believe all the people telling you to subsitute your evening/night snacks with surgar free or fat free jellow or whipcream!
Thats still giving in to the craving that doesn't want you to win, and I know you want this to work for you! And It will - Keep going Girl!
Im on this for about a week now, but on day 3 of being serious, and I have a simalar problem. I had Phili Cream Cheese Whipped, I use a tea spoon to scoop it out and put it on a 40cal 8gram 0fat unsalted plain rice cake, and smear it around. I put real powdered cinammon on it, and its really good! Be sure to take each bite gracefully, and wait till you finnish eat bite til you take another one. Taste the food, and while your tasting it, tell yourself "i'm doing it, I can do it... " remind yourself it gets hard, and there's gonna be hurddles, but let your self be aware it gets better! Be nice to yourself too :flowerforyou:

BUY SOME SUGAR FREE FAT FREE PUDDING 2 BOXES, MAKE A GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST, MIX THE TWO BOXES OF PUDDING USING 3 CUPS OF MILK INSTEAD OF 4. LET IT THICKEN AND GET COLD COLD. AFTER CRUST COOLS, SPOON THE PUDDING INTO THE CRUST. TOP THE WHOLE PIE WITH SUGAR FREE COOL WHIP SET IT FREEZER FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 HOURS, AFTER IT IS PRETTY MUCH FROZEN REMOVE FROM FREEZER CUT INTO 8 EVEN SLICES. PUT BACK IN FREEZER. WHEN YOU GO FOR A NIGHT TREAT GRAB A PIECE FROM THE FREEZER EAT WHILE FROZEN TAKES LONGER TO EAT THAT WAY AND FILLS YOU BETTER, AND SATISFY S THAT SWEET TOOTH FOR ONLY ABOUT

THIS IS IF YOU USE THE CHEESECAKE FLAVOR INSTANT PIE AND PUDDING MIX SUGAR AND FAT FREE. MY GRANDSON LOVES THIS TOO AND MY HUSBAND DOES TOO.
GOOD LUCK ON ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS!

i have this problem too! i try to plan my meals ahead and add an evening snack (usually around 8pm). dark chocolate jello mousse, cocoa dusted almonds, fruits or 100 calorie pack popcorn are some of the snacks i eat.. and if all else fails i try to brush my teeth to keep from going back for more. good luck!

I also have organic yogurt vanilla with frozen fruit or dried cranberries.
I love a apple with some Almond butter on it.
Weight watches has fabulous recipes for light deserts, and you may only want a small piece of it,
I have purchased there books but you can get a few recipes from there site.
And if you Google low fat recipes you be surprised what you can have that fits in with what is left in your calorie count to use up,
they usually have it all broken down to help you out.

I have a horrible sweet tooth. sooooooo, on the days that I don't work out (which are few) I will go to the gym to work out more than enough calories on the ol' treadmill or elliptical to enjoy 1 or 2 dove chocolates (I am a sinner and I am going to hell)

I know it is bad, but at least I have that 1 satisfaction...plus, it is a lot different from eating a whole bag of peanut butter cups (like I used to do!)
