Hardest Time of the Day for You?

issystclaire

I am wondering if anyone else experiences a particular time of day that is the hardest for them to get through, in terms of having cravings.

Mine is always in the evenings, after dinner and through 'til bed time. i.e.right now!

It is hard for me bc I finish dinner and then want dessert!!!! Bc I am eating much fewer calories atm than I have been over the past few months, within a couple of hours after dinner I start to feel hungry again - that then leads to even more cravings for snack/junk foods, argh! I also don't have work or other things going on to distract me, like I would do, during the day time.

How about anyone else? When is your hardest part of the day?

Mine is right after work, when I'm driving home. I'm such an emotional eater, whatever day I've had, I feel like I need to reward myself or eat my feelings. I'm also the most hungry then.

Without a doubt it is evenings. I think you'll find that it is the same for a lot of people. I would love to know what this means scientifically but I have virtually no problem in the morning or lunch time!

Definitely in that space between afternoon snack and dinner. I can't get enough afternoon snack. I always leave something for right before bedtime because I can't fall asleep if I'm hungry.

Evenings, usually right before bed.
But I have an apple, some carrots and a yoghurt I stuck in the freezer earlier, and that usually is enough (except when I am in a bad binge phase)

Between 4 and 5. I call it arsenic hour. I choose that time to do any exercise possible to keep from eating everything in the kitchen.

Morning. I love breakfast and dinner. I really love a nice huge *kitten* dinner. So I cut calories in the morning and afternoon so I can enjoy a nice dinner. Sometimes though, heck all the time, I want some eggs, sausage, b&g's, hash browns, whatever else.

This is me too! That's why I workout as soon as I get home, to avoid the witching hour!

The hardest for me is after I get down with my classes and I get home!

My worst hours are late evening and night. I have a really hard time sleeping and find myself rummaging through the pantry. I hate it. I'm a work in progress though.

Right after dinner! I just crave more and more food. That's when all my bingeing starts. :P

Definitely at night, pretty much always the hour or two before I go to sleep.

The time when I'm awake

I dont really have any nibble cravings unless im on a day off work and bored lol

In the evenings i do my exercise so it tires me out for bed. After exercise if ive burnt off enough cals ill have a nibble of something and some tea

Night time...but that's great, since I get to go to sleep! Instead of eating, I just prepare for the next day. Also if I am slightly hungry, I figure that's just my deficit showing up.

Definitely in the evenings. While I am watching TV. I used to smoke and that helped, but now that I have quit, I want to snack to do something with my hands. I just try to eat grapes or drink a lot of water.

evening/night when I leave work around 11pm and I'm tired and stressed I just wanna hit up DD or McD's and 'treat' myself Such a hard habit to break!

Absolutely the same here.

described me to a t, same struggles I have about eating

Mine is the middle of the night. I tend to wake up in the middle of the night. If I cant sleep, I lay there and think "what do we have in the pantry that's sweet?"haha. But now I have decided that unless I am starving enough that I can't sleep, the pantry and all of it's contents have to wait until morning. I might watch tv for a bit so I dont think about it much.

GypsySoul_74

mine is totally after dinner until bedtime. i want to eat to get through projects for grad school, or to put myself to sleep because i struggle with insomnia, or just to comfort myself... i always ration about 150 calories for a bedtime snack. it keeps me sane. i also keep a pack of whole wheat saltines in the drawer of the bedside table for if i wake up and feel desperate... i don't usually need them though

Late afternoon, after my afternoon snack. The urge to pick and eat is super strong which is difficult when I'm in the kitchen cooking dinner. Chewing gum helps, or I grab baby carrots to munch and a couple almonds.

Definitely evening time for me! I just feel there are so many hours that I'm not eating! I guess I was so used to just grazing (and not good stuff). I still graze....and it's still not good stuff.....but I do it a lot less, so I still stay under my goal. That's my struggles right now.

4-5 in the afternoon during which time i'll make tea and exercise to prevent myself from pigging out before dinner.

At night!! I just want to snack! ahhhh!

jeme3

By about 4:00/4:30 I am ready to eat dinner. I am hungry and tired and just want to eat.

But, we don't usually eat dinner until about 6:00 due to everyone else's schedules.

Evenings, after dinner until bedtime. :sad:
