I wish I could get to the point of hungar sometimes as I just eat out of habbit and its a habbit I cant seem to break, All I can think of suggesting is either go to bed slightly earlier or eat your evening meal slightly later aswell. Also try drinking water or a glass of milk to fill the gap.

Wish I could take my own advise.

You might want to try and have a little bit more portein at dinner or you could try like haveing a salad or some kinda of meat and a vegetable 1 hr before going to bed. Make sure you are getting enough water throug the day sometimes when your body needs water it will seem like you are hungry. So make sure you are getting enough.

I have found that eating ONE serving of oatmeal (made with 1 env. of instant oatmeal cause it is fast and premeasured) as a late night snack when I feel ready to binge is very satisfying and knocks that starving thing off within a half hour or so. (It's 140 calories plus milk.) I've also tried eating nuts as I saw on TV that a few walnuts or peanuts eaten 1/2 hour before meals will make you feel full on less... seems to helped, but I have a hard time trying to limit the nuts!

Adding more fiber to your diet helps too. I drink a glass of Metamucil before every meal.

"Free foods" like celery, dill pickles etc. are pretty satisfying and I sometimes drink a glass of V8. But my favorite all time snack food is Jiffy Time Healthy Pop popcorn, both regular and kettle corn. It takes a while to eat a bag and satisfies all sorts of cravings....both sweet and salty. There are other brands that work as well of course, and it is a great source of fiber.

Fill up with water!!!!!!!

Dehydration can appear as hunger, I get this myself, especially in the early evening.If you feel ravenous get a huge bunch of grapes or some melon and some water, drink enough but not TOO much or you will be up going to the toilet all night!

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
