Fighting the Evening Snack Monster.

I wasn't hungry and yet there I sat, stuffing my face with pita bread, hummus, spinach dip, oily artichoke hearts and greasy garlic coil. Damn.

I was watching the election results. We had planned a party. Everyone bailed so we had "extra" food. No sense letting it go to waste right? Ohhhh! So wrong. I probably ingested an extra 500 to 600 calories between 10 and 11 p.m.

The first time I ever tried to lose weight, I only had one rule: no food after 7 p.m. It's one of Oprah's rules -- apparenlty a 7:30 cut-off works for her schedule. I may have to adjust the timing, but I think two hours before bedtime is about right.
