Night Eating

BrokenWings

I have a real issue here, and was wondering if anyone else felt the same. I find that during the day, I rarely have an appetite or feel hungry, up until after dinner. However, once it gets past about 7pm, I have extreme cravings for sweets/chocolate/yoghurt/ice-cream/really unhealthy stuff in general :mad: .

So I was wondering, does anyone else have the same problem? If so, what do you do to combat it?
Feel free to take a look at my diary (its public).

Thanks :flowerforyou:

During the week I run into pretty much the same problem... Not hungry for breakfast, usually eat a smallish (300cal) lunch, then when I get home I'm famished. Plus, I've usually only eaten about 500 calories of my 1800 so I feel like I can go a little hog wild and still not eat over my calories.

What I've been trying to do to curb that is 1) eat a bigger breakfast, at least some oatmeal or something, and 2) started trying to get in a jog or walk or do some chores right as I get home. This seems to help modify my trigger of getting home and eating. Plus I don't feel as hungry after a walk and end up eating less at dinner.

Hope that helps.

I wish that I didn't have much of an appietite durning the day, I am always hungry. Last night I ate dinner, worked out, showered and wass relaxing with some TV and I felt like every commercial came on was something to do with food! Why do people have to make this more difficult than it is! I was craving something salty but instead I did the 20 min rule! (which sucks) I weighted 20 min to see if I was actually hungry or if the food on the Tv just looked good, and was bored. You are not alone!

I'm the same way, always have been. Barely eat during the day cause I'm just not hungry, but after dinner later in the evening I just crave carbs like mad. I am learning to just work it into my calories. I'm sure it will slow weightloss, but I doubt it will stop it as long as I don't go over calories. Some tips I have read from others
-go to sleep
-work out
-chew gum/brush teeth
-eat something healthy(ya right, thats why we have this thread, we don't want anything healthy at night! lol)


I do really believe it is psychological, its like smoking, its a habit, and in order to break the habit you really have to replace it with something else. I did good for awhile, then my husband went on vacation for two weeks and all the old habits came back. Good Luck!
