OK I am on the brink of going to the fridge and raiding it!!! I can't think about anything else and I feel like sleep will never come until I eat! I know I ate enough calories today and no reason for me to be this way! anyone have any ideas how I can make this urge stop so I can get some sleep and actually stay on track to lose weight? Happy new year to everyone!

    Drink a glass of water, go brush your teeth and floss,use mouth wash, take a hot hot bath and go to bed! DO NOT RAID THE FRIG! :) You'll just hate yourself for it later.

    Iwould eat a piece of fruit. An apple or orange only has between 60-90 calories

    I agree with the floss, brush, gargle advice! And what's better than a hot bath?!? Matter of fact...think I'll go do that now: )

    This is a great time for sugar-free mint gum or brushing your teeth (mentioned above). Nothing tastes good when your mouth is all minty!

    Hang in there!

    Water, and clean your teeth. No fridge.

    When I have that problem I drink some hot tea. It really makes a big difference for me and it helps me to average 12 cups of water a day or more. Just drink decaf so you won't stay up too late.

    I second the hot tea! Decaf for sure - drinking an herbal lemon cup right now. Soothing . . .

    Back away from the fridge. That will not help. Try some of the ideas already suggested. I like brushing my teeth because nothing taste good after that.

    If you HAVE to eat, eat something filling and comforting but low calorie,
    Like oatmeal
    And take a hot bath or shower.
    The hot shower thing helps with my appetite so much for some reason

    veggies are great, too. add some lemon juice or pepper for more flavor.
    Otherwise, I second what everyone else said. Distract yourself, drink water, eat low-calorie foods.
    Grab a banana and go for a walk!
