    late night eating is my problem as well. i do well all day, but i'm an insomniac, and often when i'm laying there for hours not able to sleep i find myself going to the kitchen. i'm working on having water by my bed and making myself drink a bunch to discourage myself but i'm still struggling. i might have to give the veggies thing a try. any suggestions welcome and feel free to add me!

    Thanks everyone for sharing I would find pockets of time during the day to eat alone. I work around food so I'll stop somewhere on my way to work then eat again once I get there. Same thing when I leave I get off at 10pm eat @ 8pm by 10:30pm when I get home I fix another meal to eat again. I want to stop and need to because now it's affecting my health so thanks for all your post I may not comment all the time but just know I will read to get encouragement, thanks

    Cutting down carbs (including wheat) and cutting out alcohol has really helped me. Logging everything helps too, somehow.

    I find myself reaching for unhealthy snacks when i am stressed or anxious, probably mostly at night as well. The gym kind of saves me though, as I go in the late evening and I know i won't have a good workout if i ate unhealthy sodium filled crap or had wine. Also wine/ champagne is a huge trigger for me. I have a glass of red and need chocolate right away, then have more and more as the night goes on and i end up reaching for more chocolate. I probably would feel so much better if i didn't have wine. In my family my husband and I always have wine with food, we enjoy it, taste it, smell it... thank god the going to the gym in the evening keeps me from going over board. When I come home after the gym i don't crave unhealthy snacks or wine as much plus its late and i am ready for bed. But i enjoyed reading your story hope you can inspire others stay more healthy.
