    Maybe try a fruit you **really** like. That will stop the binge. Think probably what food you REALLY like. If you can plan ahead is OK. To me, the best solution to a binge about a food you REALLY like is just eating it, at least a small piece of it!
    Told you, I am a foodie. But I am losing weight. No sacrifices!
    You just have to be aware you have to make it up...

    If you however, are hungry ALL the time, maybe you have to reevaluate your day to day nutrition, go slower in your diet consuming more cals, or do like me, do exercise to fill your intake cal deficit of your routine...
    I just started this week, so I'm not in a position to give advice, but I, too, suffer cravings for a treat at night. So far, I've gotten through it by telling myself, "You can look forward to having more to eat tomorrow."

    I also like to read a good book at night, so that's a distraction and takes my mind off of food.

    Now I pray that this lasts so that I create a new habit of not eating after dinner.

    Great story.

    That's a hard task.

    Today I wanted a bag of kettle chips - went to the cafe none - went to the vending machine none - i gave up was not going outside to the CVS too cold. So for me it wasn't available.
