Desperate to stop eating a lot at night Please help with ide

I'm a night snacker too and a few days ago I bought some hard candies (I chose sugar free but they wouldn't have to be) and Whenever I've been craving 'something sweet' or a snack but I know I'm not hungry I drink some water and pop a candy and it keeps my mouth and my taste buds occupied with FAR less damage! Baskin robbins were the candies I bought and the flavors are awesome!!

I used to do the same at night. I began by just getting myself to bed to relax and try and fall asleep no matter what my kids were doing. I figured if my husband was going to stay up, he'd make sure the kids got to bed at a decent hour. I guess it's thinking of all the things you've done in a day, and how tiered you are and the things you must do the next. Anxiety has been my major trigger for overeating at night. So I began painting my nails if I wasn't sleepy. I found it hard to ruin my polish by sticking my hand in the cookie jar, or potato chip bag. After that I just began to slow down, and think "do I really want this, will it solve my problems, how happy will I be after I eat this [whatever temps you]?". Others simply get in a warm tub sit and relax, give yourself a facial, pick up a book and focus on what your reading. Anything to get the idea that eating something at the hour you don't particularly want will make you happy. Start small, eat some veggies if you must snack, a handful of popcorn. It takes tons of practice, but for me slowing down and thinking about it forced me to make the right moves. Hopefully you've found some of these tips helpful. Have a great Friday!
