Food Addiction and Munchies

Anyone else suffer with a food addiction? I am finding it very difficult to deal with. I have the munchies all the time. It is hard because everyone tells me what to eat and what not to eat but no one helps with what I could be munching on during these munchy times. I am trying to just ignore them, but it is not helping.

Once my children are in bed and the house is quiet is the worst time for me with munchies....maybe munchies is not even the word for it since I can consume alot of food. I have to admit, during these times I am feeling abit hopeless as well as pathetic that I cant seem to stop myself.

I eat 6 meals a day and don't allow myself to eat other than those times and that is a habit now.  I still eat too many calories of just basic food.  My 3 snacks are yogurt, fruit and veggies.  My 3 meals are basic meat, starch and veggies. I have tried eliminating 2 snacks but can't do it.   I have tried cutting back on calories but can't seem to do that either...thus my weight issue!  Since my RNY I don't crave fat anymore  !!! But a calorie is a calorie at the end of the day. 

Some people munch on pickles, cheese sticks, celery with PB, I hope some people have some great input because I could benefit from it too.

Just me
