    I work 3 nights a week and 2 days. Being at work at night helps on the late days, because by the time I get home, all I want to do is sleep, but on the 2 days that I'm out at 3:30 in the afternoon, I'm usually eating dinner at 5:30 or 6 so I get those after dinner munchies. I usually drink a ton of water and do everything I can to distract myself (reading, computer games, crafts etc.). If I have to eat, I usually grab a zero calorie snack. pickles (not the bread and butter kind) and banana peppers are my favorites.

    I know the feel.

    I ate a full protein/fiber healthy breakfast/lunch/dinner yesterday and was totally full along with a great gym day.

    But something stressful happened and I started thinking about eating.
    I ignored it for an hour, and just as I was about to go to bed in success I shoved 2,000 calories over my goal down my throat in a matter for 25 minutes or less.

    I get the urge to eat around 8 or 9, after dinner, also. For me, it's boredom, as so many other people have said. So I get a cup of water or a Diet Coke and drink it while I do something else (manicure, playing a game on my iPad, play with my pups). If I'm still "hungry", I'll take my gummy vitamins and wait a bit. If I'm STILL hungry, then I know I'm hungry, and will eat a light snack (been going bananas lately).

    *ETA: That's assuming I've already had most of my calories for the day.
