[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP who said she went to bed early to avoid further eating.

I have the same problem as you, PP.  I am usually very good all day long and then fall apart at night.  What helps me is to eat my dinner, then have a cup of tea (I love Rooibos).  Tea is an appetite suppressant.  Also, a lot of snack foods just don't taste good/right when you eat them at the same time as (or after) drinking tea.  Then, if I still have the urge to eat more, I go upstairs (remove myself from the vicinity of the kitchen).  I don't necessarily go to sleep like the PP but I watch TV from my bedroom, read a book, get online in our upstairs office.  That makes it a lot of effort to go back downstairs and get a snack.

I also don't keep a lot of convenience snacks in the house, and what we do have, try to keep in the basement pantry so that it's out of sight, out of mind.

Finally - I don't count calories every day.  I'm doing the 5:2 fasting diet.  Eat like normal  (no counting) 5 days per week, and then eat 500-600 calories on fast day (then I do count).
