Having a hard time with it this evening. I've been good all day and stayed on track, but am just starving for some reason tonight. I just keep telling myself that it's all for the greater good and to stay strong! I can do it, I can do it, I can do it!!!

Ok, rant over, thanks for listening.

so go grab a few rice crackers and a bunch of sicilian olives....works for me!

Are you hungry or bored ? Or thristy ?

that was exactly me last night! i wanted popcorn SO bad, but really try and not eat after supper. so i had a big glass of water and a dill pickle to satisfy my crunchy salty craving and was satisfied...for the most part...popcorn still woulda been nice

you can do it!

You CAN do it! You made good decisions all day--you can keep doing it for a few more hours!

Nights are hard. Have a few glasses of water, read some posts, and keep in mind that you are in control.

That's exactly what I did. Got a big glass of mixed berry Crystal Light and am cruising more posts.

Thanks for the good thoughts.

I'm with you--that's my plan for the next 30 or so minutes too...we can both make it through....

How many calories are you eating in a given day? You may not be eating enough???

That's what I thought Tea. Either not enough calories...or just not enough volume.

I've been working very hard out in the yard/garden the last 2 weeks, and it is very tough physical labor. I have been starving in the evenings. I finally just had to take some time to make up a huge batch of cabbage/veggie stir-fry and a huge mixed fruit salad to get me over the hump. When I don't have plenty of low calorie filling foods to eat, I'll overeat on stuff I don't really even like just because of real hungar. I also find if I read to much 3fc chicks when I'm starving I'll overeat. There are so many posts of binge confessions...(followed by 3 pages of people telling them it's okay to do so) that I start thinking, "hummm...if it's okay for that person to pig out and they are forgiven, then it's okay for me". I don't want to binge, so I've had to limit my reading to select posts at 3fc.

Ug I know how you feel about that- I do the same at times- I'm starving- but I'll make up a quick low cal salad or munch on some veggies or something. I try to get in a snack that's filling and less than 100 calories.

Or if all else fails I'll go to bed- more sleep anyways!

All good suggestions. Since I began my weight loss journey I have been pre-cooking and preparing healthy snacks. It has helped me stay on track. I have found now that I exercise after I eat and clean the kitchen I am not hungry at night anymore. I am hoping my exercise "high" continues to eliminate my late night cravings.
