Lately, I get home after 8PM. My problem is eating a pile of junk at 11PM, before going to bed. You know, cookies, ice cream, chips etc. I have asked my wife to stop buying them, but then I stop on the way home because I know the house is sans snacks!! It's a vicious cycle.
i'm in the final phase of my weight loss [it's taken me forever, partly coz i fell off the wagon] and have chosen to write off cookies and cakey stuff. they are my absolute weakness, and the one food i just do not have control over. it's terrible; like an addiction. i just can't eat one chocolate chip cookie. so i've banned these items from the house.
now when i get the sugar urge, i bite off a small piece of dark chocolate. it satisfies the craving but doesn't make me feel bloated, or cranky an hour later. maybe one day i'll have the restraint to eat one cookie, but i kinda doubt it.
i agree that breakfast is key. it stabilizes your food cravings and energy level. today i had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but usually i go for the yogurt and fruit, or cereal or oatmeal.
i'm never going to let myself get so fat again. this has been a really difficult thing to deal with, especially since it's harder to lose weight as you get older, and fit exercise into a busy schedule.
