Help! I need some support/suggestions!

How about going for a walk after dinner or walking your dog. Popcorn is a great snack and does not have a lot of calories. Popcorn is nice because you can eat it piece by piece and it takes a long time to finish a bowl. How about getting into a good book after dinner or reading a fitness magazine. I play words with friends at night which helps me to stay away from junk food. Good luck.

In front of where I munch at night... the TV I have two bowls, one of tea light candles one candle for each kg I have to lose and the other bowl I put in the kgs I have lost. With each kg I lose I get to take one out of the "weight to lose" bowl.
I also do 30 day challenges to kick bad habits. If you can do it for 30 days you can kick the habit. But just focus on not doing it for 30 days.
I also drink lots of herbal tea.
When I get cravings I try and break my train of thought by distracting myself. Pick something like Pinterest or a slim pic of yourself, or a song. Basically train your brain to interrupt the cravings thoughts when it gets distracted with a particular thing.
I have a friend that is send a quick text message to whenever I get cravings she may or may not text back but it breaks my train of thought and I don't think about my craving anymore

If it's a bad habit you can break it. For most (you can vary either way) the craving only lasts 3 minutes. I suggest you take the suggestions given already and also work on over coming your craving. Remember everything you say outloud you say inside 10 times more, so give yourself positive reminders through out the day. Tell yourself outloud (and to yourself) that you're proud of how well you're doing and how much confidence you have in yourself to resist temptations. Tell yourself you can do it over and over and believe it or not you can and you will.

Lastly be very critical at tracking your diet and "budget" for snacks and rewards. Your goal should be to be healthy and a healthy diet should include some snacks and treats now and then.

Best of luck! Twink (FWIW I don't eat Twinkies or ketchup!) :P

Willpower is finite.
When we are well rested, feel good, are busy with other things, we can pretty much resist a lot of temptations.
Trouble comes later in the day when we are tired, want soothing and we give into temptation.

1. Set yourself up for success in the future by controlling your environment.
Remove all foods that "trigger" you to overeat.
I do not have any chips in the house, period, as I know I will not stop at one serving.

2. Allow yourself healthy substitutions.
Have a bowl of fruit such as oranges, pears, apples, bananas on the counter so they are what you reach for.
Have healthy snacks in your fridge in the very front, ie carrot stick, celery sticks, cucumber slices, hummus.
I love the 100calorie popcorn bags and usually have one a night and stop there.
The foods listed above are nutrient dense and very filling.

3. Preoccupy your thoughts, get busy with a project, call up a friend, play a game you love, read a book you are really interested in, play with a pet, etc.

4. If you do overeat, analyze why, plan what steps you will take next time to overcome this.

5. Forgive yourself slips and get back on track.

Great job losing 13 lbs and good luck for your continued weight loss success! You can do it!

I always input anything on my calorie counter before I eat it - it kinda gives me an extra 'are you sure you want this' break and i usually find it puts that guilty feeling into me before I eat something rather then after when its too late to do anything about it.
I try to make sure I have lots of around 100 cal snacks in that I have slotted into my daily allowance and save for the evening when I know that I will be most tempted

Maybe you need to pepper your diet with healthier sweets like fruit more often during the day to try to stave off that evening sweet tooth. I have a BIG sweet tooth. I've been on a fruit kick lately and eat different kinds of fruit a couple of times a day. I'm finding that lately I actually crave fruit now versus a lot of the other stuff I would normally want. My son had a double caramel magnum tonight and I wasn't even tempted to ask for a bite...I had my pears and strawberries LOL. Put pecan pie or Enstrom's almond toffee in my fridge and things might end differently. :explode:

Grab a big glass of water and get on MFP and encourage other people with comments, pick up the house or get things ready for the next day. I always have laundry. In the past, my point of weakness has been sitting at the computer munching or watching TV.

Being on MFP has cured my computer munching. I just keep a browser tab of MFP open. LOL!

If you don't want to eat anymore for the night you could brush your teeth.
