    I snack late because I crave salt. I will eat anything in sight if it is salted. I'm ready to try hypnotism to beat this horrible habit.

    i still say exercise so you can eat more and break your dinner into 2 meals.

    have a salad with protein before bed. simple.

    1. Go to bed. If you're sleeping, you're not eating.

    2. Definitely do not watch TV at night. Read, call a friend or family member, do chores or a creative project.

    3. Don't buy junk food. Only bring whole food into the house. If you have a craving you might be too lazy to make yourself celery sticks with peanut butter. And even if you do it's better than chips.

    4. Drink water. You need it anyway.

    Ihave found that usually when I want to snack after dinner it is out of boredom. I am very rarely actually hungry then. I have taken up crochet and that helps keep my hands busy. I might download a crossword puzzle to work or get up and fold a load of laundry. Good luck! Also if the craving is really bad I will make a cup of hot tea with some honey in it. :)

    i have this same problem the only very low calorie solution ive found is drinking tea with stevia (non calorie sweetner). ive also found that i only want to eat after dinner when i sit mindlessly in front of the tv... have a shower brush your teeth and read a book with a cup of tea instead. this is what helps me from raiding the fridge constantly for a sugar fix.

    I do enjoy word searches. I'm gonna have a book of those soon. Maybe that will help.

    Protein will keep you more satisfied but if it is bored eating it won't help being bored. Find something active to do to keep your mind of of eating. Take your son for a walk or as others have said exercise. Whatever you do stay busy and occupied.

    I think I'm doing better today. Not hungry yet. And walking my son would be some good exercise. Thanks. :)
