I need some advice...

Try going on a walk instead. bring some water with you and drink all through out your walk. you could walk just around your block or something. just make sure its atleast 15-20 minutes long. exercize will eactually make you not feel hungry any more. water will fill your stomach so it wont feel hungry later. especially if you have already eaten dinner. then go for a walk. try it.

Try not to buy foods that are readily available to just munch on at home. If you have to make the effort to prepare everything first it can put you off eating so much. Also try brushing your teeth if you get strong cravings. I have done this and it does put you off eating. Or give yourself one treat each evening and try to leave it as late as possible. This is a way to gain willpower as you know you will have a treat if you want, but you take control of when to have it. The longer you wait the easier it will become to abstain. Good luck!!

One thing I have done, because I find myself in the same predicament, is I drink a lot more water, water will fill you up a bit, and it's good for you too. Also, set a time when you will not eat after, like 8:00, And then don't allow yourself to eat anything after this time, even if your hungry, eat before then, then a week later move the time down to 7:30 and keep doing this until you are down to the time you would like, and eventually your body will get used to it, and stop crying hungry all night long. Also, watch what you are grazing on, try to pick things that are higher in protien and low in carbs, so at least when you go to bed, your not full of food, that will just end up being fat. Nuts are very filling and low carb, as is peanut butter. My hubby, will have a peanut butter spoon when he gets cravings (just like it sounds, a spoon dipped in pb.) Good luck.

I used to do that too. However, I was told to eat many SMALL meals during the day. I tried it and so far (it's been months now) I don't crave food late in the evenings anymore.
