View Full Version : Do you have a specific time you find yourself constantly munching?
homesteadmamma 09-10-2002, 02:23 PM I find from around 4- 6 p.m is when I'm constantly munching while making supper and giving the kids a snack.
So to help that, I'm now finding something to do between those hours. Either I'm reading a book (can't do 2 things at once) or I'm hand quilting a quilt. I'm making suppers that I don't find myself munching on (casseroles come to mind) and the kids are having to get their own snacks now. Its working for me.
How about you?

justGina 09-10-2002, 03:17 PM I always crave sweets after supper, late at night, when the family's a-bed.
We've been too broke to afford sweets this week, so I didn't have anything to snack on (ice cream, candy bars). This is a good thing.
crdurham 09-10-2002, 11:52 PM Late at night when I'm on the computer.... :toothy:
cozyquilter 09-11-2002, 12:05 AM DH works a second shift and has for all but 3 of our 25 year marriage. So many times after getting DD to bed, I would munch..and munch...mostly salty crunchy stuff...not an sweet/ice cream fan.
The evening is my "bad" time.
bamamomto4 09-12-2002, 12:27 PM late at night while on the puter. I mostly want popcorn.lemon, or chips,nothing sweet.
PennyPincher 09-12-2002, 01:39 PM I use to in the evening, but not anymore, I am too addicted to getting the rest of this weight off to snack
blueknitter 09-12-2002, 03:24 PM Between 3 and 7pm, habit held over from when I worked late second shift and third shift. Never felt like eating until around this time, and still usually don't feel like eating much of anything till this time. I'm trying to break out of this, as well as my long-standing addiction to sweet pastries and soda. I've been a bad, *bad* girl and am paying for it now. ;)
couponchic 09-26-2003, 09:34 PM Usually while watching tv, I might crave something salty. Sometimes, after meals, I will want something sweet.
simplemom 09-26-2003, 09:42 PM ...I noticed also around 10h30 am I am hungry!...even if I have a healhy snack...and between 3 and 4 pm, still....
Sara Noel 09-26-2003, 10:32 PM I usually want something late night almost before bed. ugh
I was watching an Oprah episode once where she said something like think of that craving and feeling as your body telling you it's calories burning or fat burning. I think of that and just go to bed instead of adding that one additional snack.
doodlebug 09-26-2003, 10:33 PM I crave stuff all evening til bedtime and once in a while I'll even wake up in the middle of the night wanting something to eat :eek: Every evening is a real struggle. I'm trying to eat apples, carrots, or drink water instead of grabbing the junk food, some nights I do well, others not so well, but at least not every night is a total munch out anymore so I am making progress.
Shell 10-05-2003, 09:42 PM I crave from 2:00 until around dinner. I used to find it easier when I was single because I just wouldn't have anything tempting at home. DH loves the junk and I'll eat it if it is there
. Most of the time I manage not to have any at home. I ask dh to just leave it in his car. HUH!
Michelle 10-05-2003, 09:51 PM Yes, after dinner when I'm on the computer. :(
KKCondrey 10-06-2003, 12:11 AM Usually between about 8 or 9 until I go to bed. I try to keep some fruit and some un buttered microwave popcorn on hand at all times so at least I'm not eating to unhealty before bed time. :smball:
aylasmommy 10-06-2003, 07:31 AM Usually after 10 pm, either that or whenever my husband starts working on a project like sanding his guitar.
Peanut butter and granola always help me stop my cravings so I try to make sure I'm stocked on those items.
Katybird 10-06-2003, 04:44 PM Mine is definately computer time. I munch while surfing. I sometimes eat popcorn while watching television too.
Mom23boys 10-06-2003, 09:04 PM Late night while on the computer or watching tv. Usually around 7 pm.
