    I try to always leave about 100-200 calories after dinner just in case this happens. They make pop corn for 100 calories. Or I'll just have a small snack and a whole bottle of water. Fills me up.

    I do exactly this. It's about 10:30pm right now and I'm about to have a 1/2 cup of fat free yogurt that'll add 90 calories for the day. I don't get to sleep until around 2am so its all good...

    I agree with the water, as we sometimes confuse hunger with thirst, but 3oz of baby carrots = 35 calories :)

    Celery is really good for munching on and practically zero calories.

    Hey :happy:

    I know just how you feel, really! The thing is that is the start of losing weight and what you do about it will determine how successful you'll be. I once lost 5 stone with Weight Watchers but put it all back on. At the time though I read in a Men's Health magazine a phrase that has always stuck in my mind;

    "An empty tummy at night is a flat tummy in the morning".

    I always kept this in mind when I was losing weight before and after just a short while my tummy got used to me eating less, more healthily and at different times of the day. When it came to the evening it was used to not eating after 8pm.

    Drinking lots of water is great and can help but unfortunately there isn't really a fantastic low calorie way of satisfying that evening hunger - for me no amount of water, dried fruit or salad is going to help. It will be your pure determination to fit in to that smaller pair of jeans that will do it.

    Good luck :happy:
