    I broke my late night eating habit by just going to bed. I used to wait until the kids were asleep and then ravage the junk food while watching tv! I made myself get into the habit of going to bed when the kids did. Many nights, in the beginning, I would take 2 benadryl 30 minutes before the last kid went to bed, so I'd be tired and go right to sleep! Now, I rarely make it up past 10 lol. It takes time and patience, you can do it!

    I too struggle with getting hungry almost every night on the dot around 11pm whether I'm in bed or not. I figured out that I was really thirsty; the body has a hard time telling hungry from thirsty so perhaps try drinking a glass of water before eating to see if that helps.

    Thank you for your support! Knowing I'm not the only one dealing with this problem makes makes me feel less worried about it. Your support is all I needed to find motivation to break this bad bad habit!

    For those who asked, I eat as much healthy food as I can (my salads are quite big) but I am gluten and lactose intolerant, so I cannot have sandwiches/pasta/paninis when I'm at work, and big salads makes me feel full and energized for the whole day:)

    If salads do not work, bring some cooked veggies for lunch like broccoli or yellow squash.
    Or some handy canned gluten free soup from the grocery store.
