Good Morning!
Krazy Katt with a K! There used to be a cartoon character named Krazy Kat, a real sexist kitty, if I remember it right. What to do at night? That all depends on what you like to do. I have always been a night owl and like to watch bad horror movies, talk on line to friends in Australia, do my email,write letters, hang out on the ghost pages and read stories. Thats me, but how about you? I would suggest a couple pen pals, rent some comedy videos, a hobby like building a model? If you have to snack there are some good low cal, low fat, snacks like microwave popcorns, fat free low cal pringles potato chips (60 cals for 14 chips). Hey, you could email me... I'm always up!

Due to chronic pain, I go to my bed early and watch TV all night till I am tired, sometimes I sleep at 8pm or 10pm. During the day I am on the computer, paying bills, reading, sleeping, crafting....

Usually at night I think about
what I'm going to eat tomorrow.
Aside from that I read, knit, watch tv alittle and worry about "whatever." Boring but
I'm fine with it.

Always has been the hallowing time for me, but I am using DS and reading about people and their lives, that seems to help and making sure I get a nice portion of protien so I'm not really hungry. That helps me most. Good topic. Thanks... hugs

Hobbies are definitely a good thing: reading; writing; sewing, cross-stitching, crochet, or knitting; scrapbooking; painting... Something that keeps you from getting "bored" (at least, that's what can trigger eating for me). Also consider joining a group or club that gets you out of the house a night or two a week--a book club, for example, or maybe volunteer somewhere (tutor kids, help with an adult literacy program, serve at a soup kitchen).

I read alot, play with the dog, find things around the house to do, watch a little tv, talk on the phone, go on the internet.

Once my daughter is in bed, I tidy up, then sit and have my "treat of the day" - I always save 200 cals for a treat at about 9pm, and then that's it in terms of food for the day - I use that as mu cut off point and force myself to stick to it.

After that I watch tv, chat to hubby, phone friends, go online, read....just chill-out really.

I crochet. I quit eating after 6 a month or 2 ago and that has always been my main eating time. The sitting in front of the tv and snacking away mindlessly time... Now I am usually either online or playing solitaire on the computer or crocheting. It really helps to be doing something with your hands. The me the crocheting is the best thing to distract me from the food.

TV is a real trap, isn't it. I have started with OA and I am just not buying junk to have in the house any longer. That is helping. If I have to eat fruit or something similar I tend not to eat anywhere near as much. I am now treating junk food the way an alcoholic treats alcohol. It is an addiction for me and counting cals etc. can never work. I have to go total abstinance. I work some nights, and I eat while I'm driving but not having it in the house is reducing my cravings heaps. It is definately helping.
