Night eating

All day my eating is right on point until I put my kids to bed and me and the hubby sit and watch some tv and spend time together. Then I fall back into old habits of eating and having wine at night and it's not good. Anyone have any ideas of how to change this habit?

Depends upon what you're eating....snacking is not always a bad thing.

However, I have to watch what I eat too close to going to bed, or I will have problems.

This is quite common. And a hard one to break although some people get acid reflux at night if they eat so that helps them stop!

Suggestions.

Get healthy Snacks in.

Don't keep wine in the house.

Do something rather than sitting watching TV.

If eating late doesn't affect you, plan your daily eating so you have a really meal. Have a planned snack when the children eat, then you and DH have your meal later.

All these things assume a husband who is supportive enough to not eat/drink in front off you!

I also have this problem. I do allow an occasional glass of wine. Try to plan your evening snack. Try a small piece of cheese with a couple of crackers. Or a small dish with almonds. Or make a smoothie....1/2 cup skim milk and 1/2 cup of frozen fruit..blend in super blender z( like a Ninga) add sweetener, if needed. It's thick enough to eat with a spoon and tasty. Take up a hand craft you can do in front of tv....knitting, clipping coupons, etc. good luck....you can do it

I agree snacking isn't necessarily bad. Just plan ahead... I allot myself wine on the weekends and try to limit it to a couple of glasses.

I gave up wine recently because I wasn't losing weight. I gave up TV eating pre op when the psychologist refused to clear me for surgery until I broke that habit. If you need a snack, have one at the table before TV and like it says above, get something to do with your hands while watching tv. I've started grown up coloring books. Sounds weird, but there are some beautiful designs, and it's calming and keeps my hands busy. Good luck.

All good ideas. Thanks!!

What I do now to get out of the night snacking habit in front of the TV is cut up fresh veggies put them in a bowl and for a month ate them everyday after that they bored me and stopped eating at night altogether when I feel like eating at night I remember the veggies and then I no longer feel like it.
