when is hardest time for you to control your eating?

I do the same thing! I work in a very hot factory, thus eating tends to make me sick to my stomach. A month ago a tried drinking a protein shake in the morning before work, usually before coffee as well. It seemed to help in making me feel full most of the day. When I got home, I found I didn't gorge either. So I am implementing the protein shake back into my diet, now that I am serious about losing the weight. It's a matter of sticking to it with me. I get in a rush in the morning and forget. I'm putting me first again, and back to the shakes. Good luck with your weight loss!

1. Immediately after coming home from work.
2. Before I go to bed.

The hardest time for me to control my hunger is at night, and not because it's night time, but I wake up @ 330a and get ready for work. I get home at 530p then work out then usually try to get to bed by 9p. If I eat before workout I get sick, and I don't want to eat after I work out because I feel I'm wasting the effort put into working out. So i guess it's not really controlling my eating, it's just not having enough time to get a proper dinner in, so I feel the hunger the most. If that makes any sense

For me, it's "special occasions". Now I know the odd party would be fine, but I treat all sorts as a special occasion. A trip to the beach, a hot sunny day for a BBQ, a day out shopping, a weekend away..... and they soon add up

I tend to go crazy on the weekends and then have to play catch up all week to burn what I ate. So far I have been okay losing what I gain but I know eventually it will catch up to me so I need to figure something out now. I also have an issue with getting up at like 3am and going to the kitchen. I'm not hungry but I have to have something at that time. I know I need to stop!

Weekends are the worst for me! I just suddenly want to eat everything after being good all week lol

It seems I want to pig out when I come home from work or a meeting or church or anywhere I have been for a few hours. I guess I think it is my relaxing time and I am a closet eater. Never eat much in front of people. Any tips? I sure don't feel like going to the gym right after working. It is a physical job in a grocery store. I eat up all my calories and then have nothing left for dinner much that night.

Daily, my biggest eating desires are in the afternoon. Monthly, it's a few days before my TOM.

Tips? Eat before your normal cravings start in order to head them off. If you have the monthly fluctuations like me, then up your exercise intensity/time on those days in order to build up some more calorie leeway. Good luck.

mid afternoon and weekends are worse for me, i try and keep busy but the minute i stop and relax i get the nibbles

Nighttime. I work at home and often stay up late working, and I think the exhaustion makes me think I need to eat. All I can suggest is something I'm sure you're already doing---make good use of the Food Diary. I''ve found it useful to enter my day's food plan at least a day ahead (I usually enter our main meals---dinner---a week at a time). By entering all my food for a day ahead of time, I always know how much more, if any, food I'm allowed and that helps me to keep reasonable in what I eat. Maybe you could try entering a "pre-approved" snack in your diary for when you return home and then savor it without guilt.

We have a rule in our house that our kitchen closes at 7. We are only allowed to get water after 7. So, between 5-7 are my hours where I really have to watch my eating.

after work and 2 weeks before my time of the month..-.- yay

When I've been drinking, I get the drunk munchies

at night near bed time

Probably around 4-7. I don't know why that period before dinner is the hardest. I try to workout right after work to help pass the time but it doesn't always work. I'm just glad i got over my late night snacking, that was the worst!
