EVIL EVENING MUNCHIES How are you controlling the fridge bin

Evening eating is my biggest battle.
Every night the Evil munchies stare me in the face.
Here's what I do:
>Reflect internally on what is your trigger...is it thinking about the food? Distract yourself with a book or a movie.
>Don't distract yourself with regular TV, the commercials make you want to snack
>ALWAYS Leave in a few hundred calories in the budget in case
>Decide that the Kitchen is Closed at a specific time (I close mine at 7:30pm)
>Set an alarm on my laptop and on my iphone to remind me it's closed
>Have a healthy snack at closing time and drink a protein drink
>Get on my InMotion stepper or take a walk if I can't control myself - by the time you get a few thousand steps in and drink a bottle of water it usually passes - around 20 min for the cravings to go away
>If that doesn't work, you just earned another couple hundred calories you can eat.
YOU CAN DO THIS!
