I need your HONEST input, help, comments, answers, 2 cents..... HELP :help: I'm thick skinned so lay it on me.

I do pretty good all day long eating healthy and staying on plan. dinner I eat healthy but struggle with portions (I am getting better though).

Here's the problem, after dinner, I have an incredible sweet tooth, I mean ravenous. I don't understand what comes over me but I'll put DD to bed, 8 - 8:30 pm, I'll go to bed too, fall asleep and then around 9 - 9:30 I wake up HUNGRY but only want to shovel chit, ohhh I mean sugar in my mouth.. anything sweet (really chocolate) WTF?

Why is it that I wake up at that time and have such an awful craving for sweets, so bad that I go down stairs and gorge (1/2 a sleep). Why can't I crave it at noon, eat and burn it off... noooooooooo. Thats when I do my most calorie damage is at night.

Don't have sweets in the house!!... well thats true, and most of the time I don't so what do I do??? I'll look for anything to fill that void and that can be even worse than having what I crave. I'll eat fruit, swig diet crystal light and then shovel everything else in as well.

So my question is... does anyone have this problem at night, I mean wake you out of your sleep problem? I don't know how to deal with it anymore. I've tried everything, even eating Protein right before bed so I'm not hungry.

Is this a head issue?? but what about the belly growling?? I'm worn out folks.

You will be fine after your fill, then stock up on sugar free stuff.
