[quote=Anonymous]OP, are you eating a good dinner? I used to snack, but I also used to diet. I was hungry or thinking about food all the time.

Now I eat two real meals a day that are satisfying, plus a light breakfast.  I don't snack after dinner. It was just a habit I had to break. Took a few weeks. I made fulfilling as well as filling dinners, ate 2 squares of dark chocolate and that was it. Herb tea if I needed more.

also, once the kids are down I stay upstairs. I read, do email, take a bath but I dont go to the kitchen. I don't really watch tv except watching a show on the treadmill, but for some people that's a habit they need to address-decoupling food from tv.

I think you really need to change your head and beliefs--that you 'need it', that you have no control, that you 'can't stop." Actually, you can. Don't eat a small dinner in anticipation of snacking .Eat a good dinner, brush your teeth and get into bed early with a book. Wokr through the temptation. after a week or two it won't be so hard.

and, in case this isn't obvious, for a while, keep the favorite snack food out of the house if you can. [/quote]
