| How do I stop?! I don’t snack in bad things, but do snack. |
| I just eat less dinner because I know I’ll snack in the evenings. |
| Drink tea. Herbal is my favorite. I get ones that are seasonal such as candycane sleepytime or fall spiced. |
| I go running later in the evening so by the time I get done it’s almost time for bed and I’m not just sitting around thinking about food. |
| I have to physically separate myself so I hang out upstairs and all the snacks are downstairs. |
| Set a "cut-off" time at night. Just set a rule that you won't eat after 8 pm. |
| You need to either plan for those calories or break the habit. To break the habit start doing something else- go fora walk, stay upstairs and read a book in bed. Eventually you will get out of the habit of snacking. |

I have been a lifelong evening snacker, so I've accepted that even if I've had a healthy, filling, nutritious day of eating, I still crave "something" in evening, at least psychologically. This might be the same for you.
However, I've replaced unhealthy snacking with something simple - fruit and tea. I will have a small bowl of berries and a cup of herbal tea, almost every night. Sometimes no berries, and just tea. It's just right for me. |
