[quote=Anonymous]OP, you simply need more discipline. If you are trying not to eat more than 1800 calories/day, don't do it. You eat your dinner, and then don't get seconds. Don't eat dessert. Don't have a snack while watching Breaking Bad. If you really feel that you can't avoid those things, eat less at another time of day to compensate.

You don't "need" to eat a big meal at the end of the day, even after working out. You need to eat strategically at that time and drink a bunch of water. Eat slowly. I would be willing to bet that if you just avoided immediately going for seconds, you'd notice that 20 minutes after finishing your dinner, you will feel full. If you don't feel full, drink more water.

I also agree with the poster who suggests not keeping junk in the house. If you are prone to snacking, don't keep easy snacks around. Make your snacks slightly more work intensive, something that you have to prepare or chop up or whatever. Personally I am lazy, and if I have to cut up some cheese to eat with crackers, or cut up fruit, or whatever, I am more likely to just forego the snack at the end of the day than I would be if it was a matter of opening a bag of chips or a tub of ice cream.[/quote]
