Why does food seem so much more appetizing late at night? I just don't get it. Night eating has always been my problem too! We can do it hun. Just taking baby steps is still an improvement0

My awful habit too!0

Mine is the weekend0

I sleep walk and eat in my sleep. If you know you are going to eat at night, just make sure you save the calories.0

You should seek therapy, this is not normal and you do not have to live with it.0

I thought there was something wrong with me because I eat at night. If there is anything sweet in my house I will wake up in the middle of the night and have some. Then go right back to sleep like it didn't happen. But the next morning I feel terrible.0

There is an extremely easy solution to this. Don't havev junk food in your house. It's dang near impossible to eat stuff taht you don't have. I've tried it and it never works0 -
I recently read an article that said to eat most of your proteins throughout the day and then eat most of your carbs at night. I've been trying it for 10 days now and it has completely stopped my habit of getting up and eating in the middle of the night. And I don't wake up starving.
I believe it was last month's issue of Woman's Day magazine. The info on why this works made sense.0 -
I have that problem, too. Like, immediately after dinner, I MUST have something sweet. There are no two ways about it, I'll go nuts and tear up the house searching for sugar.
I've learned to keep it under control by planning for and portioning out a small dessert for myself after dinner, which I usually eat while watching a movie or reading after we put the baby down for bed. (For me it's chocolate-covered raisins) Something about knowing I have a delicious treat waiting for me at the end of the day helps keep the junk food demons at bay.0 -
I used to do that too! I would be half asleep eating cookies and sweets in the kitchen and then go right back to bed. For me it was the worst when I was going through my divorce and a lot of emotional turmoil. I don't ever have the urge to do it now, but for years I had that issue and it was so frustrating. Hugs.0

We're all struggling with something. If I'm going to lose control, it will be late afternoon. I've never gotten out of bed to eat. But it boils down to the same problem in the end.0

just eat something lite. mabye some yogurt, or i like peanut butter on some crackers.0

I still do this too. Solution for me? Seedless red grapes. I always keep some in the fridge and 1 cup only has about 100 calories. The water content on the grapes will help satisfy the hunger craving since it will make you feel fuller. I sometimes will use a teaspoon of sugar-free chocolate syrup and dip a few in too!0

i would always get hungry later in the day so i snack during the day (healthy small meals ) and then have my dinner rather late i know you should eat late at night blab blab blab but it works for me so i do it im not hungry during the day sometimes running round after my son i forget to eat at all ... but i do enjoy my dinners =D0

The first step is to get in the habit of logging your food. Log on every day and track what you eat. Weigh or measure your food carefully so your log is as accurate as you can make it. Once you get a clear picture of what you've been doing, you can make gradual changes to put yourself on a healthier path.0

I use diet Jello for an after dinner snack and if I get the urge to eat later in the evening and only 10 calories a 1/2 cup serving but the 50 mg of sodium sucks.0

Welcome back!! I absolutely know that feeling. My kryptonite is watching things. I HAVE to be watching something if I'm eating, and if I'm eating, I have to be watching something. Which mostly happens at night. I think its boredom quite honestly.
You can do this. Do not let food have power over YOU. : )0 -

this is what i do0 -
I drink a protein shake before bed. Mmmmm Chocolate0
-
Save the calories or I keep a veggie bowl and chomp on those as much as I want and I don't feel guilty. But if you are hungry (a grumbling tummy) eat something real, not junk. It's more important to feel satisfied than it is to worry about how many caloires you are eating as long as you're eating HEALTHY.0
