I'd recommend starting a new habit right before bed time that would be rewarding to you. Maybe you can go out for an evening walk or watch a DVD that you want to see?
My eating times are sort of all over the place. I know I should be more consistent but I have a young daughter who goes to bed around 6pm so depending on how nice she is that day I can sometimes squeeze making dinner before that. Other days, though, she's not in a good mood and I don't even start until after she's in bed. Then other days I'm so exhausted I end up taking a nap with her for a couple of hours and eat after that.
We tend to watch TV at night before bed or I read so that's pretty rewarding already.
Walks, unfortunately, aren't possible because of DD, although that would be really nice.

Yeah, I think so. It definitely seems like enough when I look at the portion sizes. I do the hot tea thing. It helps but I'm still hungry. Maybe I'll try the popcorn or apple, those sound like a good idea. I try and eat protein at night too to feel fuller but it never seems to work!
