    Sometimes thirst is confused for hunger at night. Try drinking a glass of water and waiting 15 minutes. If you're still hungry, then have something lower in calories, like a cup of veggies or something higher in fiber to keep you full, like half a cup of a cereal high in fiber.

    I guess I would say I'm going through the same thing, except I'm a guy! When I started on my "diet", I told myself to just suck it up and eat REALLY healthy for a month or two. I did that, but now I'm hooked on eating nothing but healthy foods. It feels like I'm forcing myself to eat all the time and I only net 1400-1500 calories per day.

    Eating foods with fiber and protein for dinner helps make you feel full longer, so hopefully you don't get hungry before bed. If you do get hungry, pick low-calorie snacks. Dill pickles are my personal favorite - ZERO calories!

    I'll send you a friend request, I'm happy to help anytime.

    I used to go through what you did but I have managed to curb them through some adjustments. I'll friend you if you would like the support..

    I wish you the best either way if you accept or not.

    Almonds are a good choice...although they're high in calories, they do have good fats. Air popped popcorn. Fruit.
