Night is always the hardest

Options
I've been doing well all day, I even went to the mall and walked around, but now my husband is home, laundry is going, dishes are done, and I get the urge to eat. I still have 820 calories to eat, but there is no healthy food in the house, and nothing that will fill me up, and being 10pm I shouldn't be eating this late anyway, but I want something deep fried and yummy, and I need to stop thinking like that. What do ya'll do when you are not really hungry your just bored and lazy?

    I was just about to post something similar. You are so right!!! I'm staring right now, but then again I don't have over 800 calories left for the day. Nighttime sucks!! I'm just going to go to sleep!!
    Nighty Night.

    Usually I will go and brush my teeth or have a cup of green tea or chew on some gum!

    If I am craving sweet and have some calories left for the day. I will eat Toast with jam on it. If I am craving something salty. I eat popcorn.

    I have the same problem!!! Night time is always the hardest part of the day for me. I should just go to bed, but am not tired. I like to eat a 100 cal. small bag of healthy popcorn and a piece of dark chocolate. I buy individually wrapped dark choc. so I can't over indulge. Also, try some hot tea with honey, nuts, and if you really just have to something crunchy and bad I LOVE baked cheetos :).
    OR you can make your mind busy, browse stuff online, crossword puzzle, online games, etc. GOOD LUCK!!! I totally understand how hard this is!

    I can relate! I was having pizza cravings tonight and the only thing that held me back from ordering in was the fact I left my wallet in the trunk of my car and I'm feeling too lazy to go get it :P

    However after brushing my teeth, I'm fine now. Craving has passed :)

    If it were late at night & I still had 820 calories left over, for sure I would eat :laugh:

    Nothing crazy ..... maybe a cup of tea & toast or crackers with jam, or PB, or a slice of cheese ..... or plain yogurt with some low-sugar jam or jelly ..... or some almonds ?

    Happy losing !
