Hi everyone.
Here's my big problem: eating at night. No matter how well I do during the day, I always seem to spoil it at night. I simply cannot go to bed on an empty stomach, or I will be awake all night. I need to be "pleasantly full", which usually requires eating something sweet, or high in carbs. I've tried sugar free jello, or a light yougurt, and it doesn't do enough for me.
Seriously, I'd rather starve myself all day, then eat a loaf of white bread with peanut butter at night. Of course I get the "light bread" and reduced fat PB, but I can't seem to eat anything like this in moderation! I did so well today, then got such a bad craving for carbs and something sweet, that I ate 7 slices of bread and 1 1/2 tbsp of peanut butter! This ended up being 395 calories. I know it could be worse, but how do I refrain from doing this? If i just have one serving of something I'm never satisified! Are there any tricks you guys use when eating late night snacks? I just need calorie control. Thanks!

theres a ton of different 100cal things out there to, try some of those, because even if you hafta eat, this won't be a lot of calories
