I brush my teeth if I want a few cookies or something ;D

It keeps my teeth fresh and my weight down ;D

    I do that too. When I'm done eating for the night. Never thought about when I crave something!

    Something I've found that helps to curb my incessant ice cream craving is banana 'ice cream' - frozen banana + whatever ingredients you like into a blender, gives you a creamy but substantially more nutritious alternative to real ice cream. :)

    Going to the bathroom RIGHT NOW to brush my teeth! I'll have to invest in more toothpaste; Snacking at night is a big problem for me. Trying to drink more water -- but you know what that leads to? Trips to the bathroom in the dark! LOL --:laugh:
