I have a huge problem with snacking/eating right before bed.. I cant seem to stop, and quite honestly its pissing me off:explode: I am so disasppointed in myself, and I need to get my mentals together because I am an emotional eater... I had a grilled porkchop and 1/2 cup of rice with a 1/2 cup of chopped tomatoes on it.. Then I had an edys fruit bar.. I was suppose to stop there.. Do you think I did? NO!!!:huh: So then, I sat in BED, and ate a little of some trail mix that was with Dried pineapples, sesame sticks and peanuts.. Not a lot, but I knew I was over in my calories, so then after I ate a little I realized that wasnt going to work, I ate a bowl of frosted flakes with 2% milk.. Then I was done.. I went over in my calories by about 400... I am just so sad, that I do this sometimes.. UGH.. Just needed to whine...

I will keep on truckin!!!

    Only eat at the table, not in bed. Make it a hard and fast rule for you. I get the mucnhies at night but I drink a cup of herbal tea and it seems to help.

    I have a major problem with snacking at night too. I've got it pretty much under control now though... I found that the key for me is to keep busy. I used to come home from the gym, take a shower, and then just veg around until it was time for bed. That was the danger zone. Now, after my shower, I do laundry, pack my lunch for the next day, pick out my clothes, give myself a facial or a manicure... that kind of stuff. It really helps, plus I feel all pretty and organized, which is a bonus.

    I messed up BIG TIME too!! Went out to dinner on a date with my hubby for the first time since my baby was born (she's two months) and rewarded myself with a delicious dinner! Went to Iron Hill and had the works... appetizers, dinner, dessert, wine.... it was BAD. But I'm just going to say it was a one time deal to celebrate, and re-focus today. Still have about 30 pounds of baby weight to lose ( I packed on 70 by the time I was 9 months!!) Hopefully I'll stay stronger!

    Hey Roz, don't worry about it, it's life in progress. Just call it motivation to move a little more. I used to walk several blocks just so I could have an extra couple hundred calories! So step it up and enjoy that extra treat! Best of luck to everyone!:drinker:

    I use to do that alot with eating at night after dinner. Someone that I work with had suggested to me that what my body was probably looking for was protein and that was why I was snacking late at night. So my friend said to start my day with protein and end it with protein. This has been almost 2 1/2 months ago and it has worked wonders for me. It was like within 3 days of starting to eat protein at the beggining of the day and at the end of the day I have no desire to eat after dinner. I have no cravings for my favorite snacks anymore and it also has helped me in my weight loss.

    Roz, if you have to snack get something that is healthy and LOW in calories. My favorite snack food right now are fresh cherries and sweet peas. The peas are crunchy and sweet and the cherries well they are just little nuggets from heaven. String Cheese or a handful of nuts is god as well as protein last longer and your body always appreciates it. Both are low in calories and wont hurt you.

    My husband is a snacker and so I have t have a little something that I feel I can enjoy once in a while. My best to you friend.:flowerforyou:

    drink a large glass of water an hour before bed...or some kinda protein shake. Atleast if your gonna be bad, might as well drink something to benefit you.
