[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you snacking at night? Did you not eat enough for dinner or are you the type who has to eat every couple hours bc a slightly empty stomach is too much to bear?

Eat more at dinner and don't keep ice cream around house.  Only have it for special occasions like birthday etc. Drink herbal tea at night. [/quote]

You sound judgy. Can you believe that some people may have a stronger sense of hunger than you? At different parts of my life I have felt hunger differently. When hunger is strong it is not abated with will power and herbal tea. If you can’t understand strong hunger because you’re lucky enough to not feel it, please don’t look down upon those of us who aren’t as lucky. [/quote]

Not the PP; but I don't think they were being judgy. I think they were just prompting OP to ask why they're snacking - a perfectly reasonable question to explore. Know the cause of the problem to find solutions to the problem. I find that I snack more at night the later I stay up. Sometimes I'm hungry but not always. If I regularly go to bed earlier - like 11 instead of 12 - I don't have that late night snack so much. 
Part of the reason for my after-dinner snacking is just habit, sometimes a craving, many times because I'm staying up longer and get hungry instead of going to sleep and sleeping right through the hunger.

I posted the question asking why OP is snacking at night. Years back I was snacking at night and I wanted to stop. Mine was a combo of habit and the fact that I was not eating enough for dinner. I gave myself a little more at dinner so I was more satiated.  Nightly snacking was easier to stop and the habit just died. I do enjoy ice cream but it is just once every few months or special occasions.  Needing to snack every night speaks to a bigger issue.  We are not designed to eat over a 15 hour window, i.e. from breakfast to bed.[/quote]
