[quote=Anonymous]I have this issue and this has worked for me:

1) Decide on a time after which you will not eat (I'm a 7:30pm person).  No cheating.  This creates an atmosphere where you stop negotiating with yourself.  If it's after 7:30, you just don't eat.

2) as an aside, remember WW has great advice about not having food around, it should be hidden away if it's your problem food.

2.5) another aside--remember in WW you measure.  Never eat out of a bag, ever.

3) Along the lines of #1, have a rule where there is NO eating in front of the TV.  If you are watching TV, then NO.  Stop eating.  This has been proven time and time again to be the deadly pairing!

4) As a PP said, wow, the whole brush/floss thing really puts a finality to it.  I'm a bit bad about doing this step, but I've never, ever cheated when this step is complete.  No matter what the awesome food is my DH puts under my nose!

5) Get some Pelligrino and lemons or limes.  You need a substitute while you are watching TV.

6) This is not mandatory because it's a big change but will set you up for success:  Stop watching TV at night, just stop.  Go to bed with a book (no screens).  The screens simulate daylight and send the wrong hormones to the brain for a good night's sleep.  We are completely sleep-deprived in America.  Watch the NIH and Nat. Geo's "Sleepless in America" on youtube; it will blow you away.

And remember this:  You lose weight WHEN YOU ARE ASLEEP.

When people are awake when they should be asleep, they eat.  This was a study in the above cite.
