    I do this too. I typically do my college work after 8 pm once my kids are in bed and I always end up eating chips or pretzels when I work on it. I already struggle keeping my calories under control so this always puts me over. I know I need to have better self control in this area.

    I've been horrible about nighttime snacking. So, what I've been doing, is anytime I even think of food, I do 10 jumping jacks. It's working great and I've lost 3 pounds in 4 days.

    This is a really good topic.
    There are days that I feel so good about eating healthy all day, and then night falls...lol...and I absolutely agree that's it's boredom related.

    I actually made a background on my cell phone that says, "You're not hungry, just bored!" LOL

    I absolutely love this I'm going to try this one also

    I build in a late night snack. Popcorn is good for the crunchy salty snack. I will even eat a candy bar. Sometimes I eat nothing, drink hot tea or ice water. Depends on the day.

    Secret here is that I am planning my snack and not eating a whole sleeve of Chips Ahoy or a Family Size bag of Lay's like I used to.

    Same here. I never could have cookies, candy, etc. around the house because I'd binge. Now, they're in the cabinet for a very long time, and I don't eat them every day.

    ok so u eat a heathy breakfast and a light snack at lunch I literally don't get hungry in the day and I'm fine but when nighttime hits my appetite seems to go into overdrive any thoughts???????

    Eat at night. I skip breakfast, light lunch around 3:30 - 4:00, dinner around 8:00 - 9:00. Since I eat a big dinner close to bedtime, I don't get hungry after.
