Feeling a bit off

I am having a really hard time not eating at night after my family goes to bed. I try to do things to keep my mind busy but eventually the cravings win out and I end up eating something....its been NS desserts or sugar free pudding but its not part of my 100% plan. I am really upset with myself because I do so well all day long only to mess up in the night. I have tried going to bed early..if I could sleep this would be the answer but I end up tossing and turning and getting back up. Tonight I'm drinking water and that helps but I will be up like 3 times during the night. I wish I could find something to curb these cravings!!! UGH!
I do try to save my dessert for later but end up eating it when my husband eats his just before 8. This makes me so mad. I really wish I could have more self control. When I am alone during the day I do so well, put add my husband and step daughter at dinner and next thing you know...poof I am stuffing more food in my mouth!

Hey Sherri,
I know the feeling well... Have you tried saving a fruit or protein for later in the nite? I find that I can safely miss my afternoon protein or fruit and have it later in the day/evening. Hope you get over the cravings!

You can work throught this, Sherri. Bear gave you a good suggestion if you can do it. Don't let others control how much food you put into your body. You can do this!

I know exactly what you mean. I have taken to drinking decaf or green tea in the evenings. Yeah, I'm up a few times to pee, but it's better than eating crap I shouldn't. It might be worth the trade off. Something to consider.
