Oh Chris, you are soooo NOT alone in the night time munchies! I crave carbs at night the most! It is insane! So I try and have popcorn or some sort of protein like a cheese stick or a protein shake (made up like an ice cream shake with a few scoops of low carb ice cream) and that usually does it for me!

Oh man... it wasn't the day after that I had to worry about, it was the weeks leading up to Halloween that was the bane of my existance! Unfortunatly, I don't dump until I pu**** over 30g of sugar at one time so I can munch on those little candies all dang day and be fine....UGH! So yes, I admit it, I was HORRIBLE!!! See every year I do something BIG for the neighborhood kids, so this year would be no exception, I buy a bag of candy EVERYTIME I go to the store for about 2 months leading up to Oct 31st so I don't end up running out (which I have done several times and finding candy at night is HARD). This year since we had the huge base deployment the trick or treaters were slim! I ended up with over 15 pounds of candy left!!! UGH!!! So we are going through it and picking out our favorites (like bottle caps) and hubby is taking the rest to work. Then hubby is also hiding what we keep for ourselves and dishing me out a piece every once in awhile! LOL! I SUCK AT SELF CONTROL AT NIGHT! I can get up in the middle of the night and mindlessly eat candy if it is within eyesight of me, then I dump and sleep through all of my alarms and I wake up wondering.... WTF?! Within a few minutes I find the empty wrappers and cry b/c I know what I did then! UGH! EVIL CANDY!

Oh Cheri, you are looking fabu! Thanks for posting your B&A photos, it is nice to see that the support on this board has helped a few folks come out of there shell and get in front of the camera! After years of feeling like the "fat beast" and hiding from the camera, it is a real milestone to get those pictures taken AND share them, let alone in such a public way... so WAY TO GO GIRL!

Cheri you look great what a difference. I on the other hand am still living in the FAT world and do not like the camera. As there have been many changes in the way I look and feel about things I still can't get it through my head the I am no longer fat obese or what ever the word of the day is. I think as we all progress through this new world we are finding some of us are dealing with it better than others. I like the compliments and I like being able to wear smaller (much smaller ) clothes but the mind and self image is harder to change. But good for you, you have been able to get past that and again you look terrific. Peg
