I don't have problems with over-eating nor snacking throughout the day, I eat BIG dinner around 6:30pm, then soneting else at 7:45pm to be sure that I'm not hungry later, but starting from 11:30 I'm gone - I wanna eat, eat, eat. Otherwise I can't even fall asleep till very late.
Right now - in bed, trying to be strong and not to visit my fridge :-)
I read through November's challange and didn't find tips on fighting those binges. Tips from internet (eat breakfast, count calories, etc) don't work either. Do you have good tips?
I start myself :-) Years ago I tried this and lost ca 16kg - just willpower first couple of weeks which then became habit. Now I don't find the willpower for the first weeks :-(
Hi - I joined this group last month and I've found it really helpful at keeping me on track. I like the idea of ME winning over LNS cravings.... I am in control.
Try drinking a full glass of water or have a hot drink. You just have to ride it out chick.... It will get easier... We will break the habit.
If I ate the right things I don't suppose it would matter so much and LNS but I never crave a salad at 8pm!

Really enjoying the comments. Any other night owls out there? I tend to eat dinner after 8p.m., & I rarely get to bed before 1a.m. at the earliest. So for me, a LNS is anything after 11pm. Anyone else in the same boat?
(Sometimes I'll even wait till after midnight to snack & then log my snack for the next day.)3 -
Lol bobbylou23, funny, I never crave a salad for a LNS either!1

Welcome everyone!!! Remember, we can do this! Just take one day at a time.3

Hi! I would say going to bed, busying myself with reading, surfing the net help and working my jigsaw puzzles on my iPad help. Most helpful is knowing I'm accountable to this group.
November was a horrible month for me, though, with having a cold and wanting comfort food and binge TV watching and then wanting to binge on food/LNS.
One thing is that if I am very hungry I will have a sugar-free candy or mint. That sometimes helps. Tea or flavored water is also good.
I am always looking for suggestions, too.5 -

Streak 2
I ended November with LNS'ing on a very stressful day, so that is why my streak has been reset to 2.
Stress and wanting to find comfort from it with food is a horrible trigger.5 -

I just searched for late night cravings and found this post. Count me in! I often catch myself counting calories for the first 2/3 of my day, then estimating the rest in my head. I'm sure I'm going over on those days I snack late night!
Goals:
Assure all my calories are counted for the day before partaking in a late night snack!
Pushing through the cravings at night and remembering that they don't feel exactly like hunger.
December is my month! Thanks for the post!
