Debi, I have been having trouble in the evening too.  Last night I "thought" I was hungry...but, decided I was reverting to old habits...eating when bored...had a talk with myself and went to bed.  I have been lucky...haven't had any cravings (yet).  I also find if I eat a little protein it cuts hunger better. Keep up the good work... Rosemary

Can you move?  Just joking.......sort of. When I lost a 60 lbs several years ago, I had terrible cravings in the evenings.  I combated them by going to bed with a book to read as soon as the kids were asleep.  The bed was much too warm and comfy for me to leave it in the quest for food.

My girls had a party here last night and we got them pizza and chips and stuff for all the kids to eat.  It turned out to be the first time since my surgery that I was painfully longing for just one bite of that pizza.  It was torturing me all night long.  I actually started to feel sorry for myself that I couldn't have the damn pizza.   I got through it, but it sucked.  I suppose we could always just give in and eat something we want....but I know for me that I'm just plain scared of hurting my pouch and getting really sick.  That will keep me from giving in.  And the best reward is that this morning I'm down another pound and a half from yesterday....so in the end, it's worth it.   Hang in there Deb!

I usually have a no sugar added fudge bar when this happens.  It's choc., so it usually works.  You just have to find what works for you.

Deb, Hi I think it would be fine to get a half of hoagy get some cheese on it and don't eat the bread just the meat. You will only be able to a couple bites of it any way. Just tell them not to use alot of oil when they do the meat. Sheila

Hi Sheila!!!
To Late!!! I already gave in!! I only ate 1/2 of it though, and man was it gooooood!!! I put the other 1/2 in the fridge to have the next day but when I seen it I tossed it. I am not crazy about left overs....thank god huh? LOL
So how is work going?? I am swamped at work!!!
All these new programs I have to learn!! Geesh!!
