That is mine also. The kids have gone to bed and it's time to sit and relax. All I want to do is eat.
I have not found a good fix other than trying to eat healthier snacks.0 -
That is also mine! I always want to munch. It starts with dessert then goes wild from there. It's hard for me to not crave those sweets!0

My hardest time is in the afternoon at work, probably between 4 and 5. Lunch was 3 hours ago and dinner still 2-3 hours away. And then I get a bit bored because urgent work for the day is done and I can eat all the cucumbers and other vegetables in the world I just never feel satisfied and get rid of the urge to snack0

6 am to 10 pm
Actually, I have good days and bad days. Work is actually the hardest for me because I sit at a desk all day and get bored easily. As long as I leave my purse in my car (no $ available for the vending machine that way), I do o.k. with sticking to what I've brought with me. Sometimes I'm bad though, and just go out to lunch - those days are often "ugly".
It is definitely easy to get off track with mindless eating while watching t.v. or a movie. I try not to snack while watching t.v.. If I'm legitimately hungry, I will make myself walk to the table and sit down to eat my snack. It seems to keep me more focused on what I'm doing and I'm less likely to keep shoveling it in without even realizing how much I've eaten. When I'm done, I clean up and walk away. I don't go back to the pantry or refrigerator. Now work is another story.....0 -
Mondays after work. Tricks? Looking here to get motivated.0

Right now. I'm actually dealing with super intense cravings for all things bad for me. My fiance isn't home so I have no one to hold me accountable for my actions... I've not dealt with a craving like this since I started my journey and it's hard for me.
It also doesn't help that I have all this healthy food that I have to prepare, but the bad, ready-to-eat in 2 minute things are staring me in the face LOL.0 -
Afternoon at work. I provide after school care for a family and they have lots of tasty foods I really shouldn't have.0

So eat less every morning and you will have more calories at night.0 -

Right?? I need to do a better job of prepping healthy things or buying fruit. I always think that I don't like fruit, but it would be really handy when i'm wanting to snack.0 -

Is he in perfect fitness? If not he should get on the stop eating junk with you.
Same as all of you my cravings are from after dinner about 8pm till whenever I go to bed. Normally me and my feoncee are watching tv during these times and nothing else to do I have always ate chips, and icecream, whatever. next time go shopping i need to find some healthy snacks rather then junk. Chex mix is a Huge snack i love.0 -
After I get home from work before dinner - while making dinner!0

mid-afternoon at work is the hardest time for me.0

Between 3.30 and 6.30 before I get to eat dinner. I'm much better at avoiding desert after dinner, so this is my new hardest time!0
