Nightime EAting, anyone??????????????

Hey guys, does anyone else have trouble with evening eating?? It has always been my downfall and it's starting to creep back in. I do really well during the day. In fact, I hardly eat anything durning the day. I drink a lot and have a protein drink in the morning. I usually don't have anything solid until aroudn 3:00 in the afternoon (almost always a string cheese stick). Anyway, it's not that I'm hungry, it's definitely head hunger. I just want to nosh! Anyone else struggling with this??? Lisa S. 227/169/140

I have the same thing, but it isn't a problem for me. I plan it as part of my days food. I usually go thru alot of SF popcycles. Not every night, but alot of nights. The popcycles are part of my daily calories, and I make sure I have enough protein, if not I also have a protein shake.

I have trouble with evening snacking some times. I found the cure for me, but I doubt it will work for you. Unless of course you wear dentures. I just take them out and that pretty much limits what I can eat. Hazel

Kristi, I don't overdo it either. Aren't SF popsicles a godsend?? But, it just bothers me that I have this need to put things in my mouth so much in the evening. I obvisouly need to find out the root behind this so I can try to curb it. Hazel, that made me laugh my a@# off!! You are a hoot!!! Lisa S.

Well, I didn't only have the surgery, I also quit smoking. So it is a habit of hand to mouth that is pretty well imbedded. I decided not to fight it early on, just go with it. It will be there for a long time I think. It is worse 2 times durring the month. Then there are times I almost forget I can have them, the craving is different. I didn't have the eat at night before, but then again, I had the smoke at night. I am real glad I quit smoking. Second best thing that happened to me. Best thing that came out of the surgery, at least so far, will see if it holds when I get into size 10 pants..

I find after I fullfill my Protein needs for the day (which is always done by atleast 4pm) then I'm craving crunchy ness by the evening. Ugh - last night I had a bowl of Coco Pebbles, DISCLAIMER~~~ It was only 1/4 of a regular serving. NO Flaming... But yeah I do see that in the evening I find that I crave stuff and it is only head hunger for me. I don't have any real suggestions for you tho... Dana

Lisa! I've noticed that if I don't eat enough during the day, I'll find myself wanderin to the fridge or cupboard. Maybe have something between your shake and cheese stick???? I wanted to just nosh when those fat free chips were in the house, they're gone now and I'm eating better again. Do you have a trigger???

Hurray for SF popsicles! I find myself wanting to snack in the evening too. I think it's because I finally have time to relax and unwind from the day. At least I'm not snacking on chips or cookies anymore!

Dear Lisa---- I cannot understand this.... I never overeat.... I came to weigh nearly 300 pounds because of "water retention" and a "slow metabolism". Please read with tongue firmly in cheek! My problem time is in the afternoon---oh dear--- I really struggle then! Cathy

Me too! Except I thought that I was just big boneded!
