OK, I will admit to being a little nutty (we all are, not all of us admit it)....but I am LOSING MY MIND with hunger!!! I am sure other folks deal with this. I log every last little thing so I know I am getting enough to eat but I just feel manic this time of night...literally being fidgety and TOTALLY focused on how much I want to eat. Normally I lock myself in the bathroom and take a long hot bath until it passes, but lately the bathes have been about an hour long...not only am I prune lady but I am sure hubby is wondering what the heck I am up to. Alternative suggestions?

    Try eating low calorie snacks this late..cucumbers, cherry tomatoes..make sure you are eating enough protein throughout the day, that could be hurting you....and are you drinking your water? I also try to drink my milk..that helps also..

    Hope this helps a little..

    look how fantastic you look! think of all that progress, sometimes if I am truely hungry I eat the 98% ff popcorn. you can eat an entire bag for about 100 cal and it satisfies my sweet tooth. if you are feeling guilty about eating that get in some extra exercise. sometimes i just need a glass of water and that feeling passes.hope it helps!

    I know what you mean but I don't know either :( Exercise should help with the agitation but i guess doing it too late messes with sleep. It would also free you up to having more calories. I try pickes about 3 baby dills help me get thru.

    For a sugar craving (not the same as being hungry) I have a baskin robbins candy - about 20 cals. Sugar free sucking candy helps too but can make you hungry so I only have them right after dinner.

    protein snacks will do it... they satisfy longer... take longer to digest

    The only thing that works for me is Good Earth Original Decaf Tea in Sweet & Spicy - kills the appetite - strong gingersnap flavor. Comfort! Ahhhhhhh

    I meant when I am out of calories I eat a few pickles. I also had a piece of extra lean ham while waiting for dinner and it really helped take the edge off and only 30 cals for the big slice of Kirkland I believe.

    I tend to try and walk it off - I also sew and knit which means it keeps my mind occupied xxx

    I have that problem too! I get hungry after dinner (which is usually my biggest meal). sometimes for dessert I will have a skinny cow ice cream. Sometimes I actually just go to bed to keep from eating.
