I do sometimes feel like something to finish the day off and think to myself ' I will be wishing I ate it when I am on a DD tomorrow' but I do try to ask myself whether I really want it or am I just eating for the sake of it? I have realised through Juddd that I do actually have an Off switch and I now really hate feeling really full and bloated x

This is key ... I'm really trying to stop myself out of eating because of habit. Easier said than done, mind .....

That's exactly it, tomorrow it'll be haunting me from the cupboard/ fridge/wherever but right now? I really don't need it do off to bed I will go. Off switch working tonight
Then tomorrow you will know that you can eat it tomorrow

I find it a lot easier now Pauline, without really realising I am doing it before I eat something I think am I actually hungry do I really want it, if the answer is yes then I eat it but I find the majority of the time its wanting to eat it for the sake of it, I realised after reading something on another thread earlier, I don't snack between meals anymore ? I was always a picker , the odd biscuit here, packet of crisps there but I don't do that anymore and I hadn't actually realised I had stopped doing it until someone mentioned snacking ?? I still have an evening treat but then not always its strange how your eating habits change on this diet. I have found that I don't live for food anymore, despite having free reign on UP days I find I mostly make healthier choices , I do have more treats on a weekend UP but thats more a phychological thing. Don't get me wrong I still love my food but its not so important to me now IYSWIM ?

One of my biggest issues is evening eating , it always has been. Come in from work, have some tea and then sit in front of the TV or the laptop - or both all evening. Its text book snacking territory. Its my danger time on a DD before I go to bed, i can't go to bed early every other day for the rest of my life so I've set myself some ten minute tasks, like clearing through a drawer or clearing out my handbag, they always last more than ten minutes and it works a treat. Alot of my hunger is in my head I think. My brain knows I've only eaten a bowl of 50 calorie soup so it tells me I'm hungry. In reality I ate that bowl of soup ten minutes ago and it was really thick and filling. Some of its about thinking do I need it like Bajoleth says.
Another issue for me is my DDs are M, W, F but I live alone so I'm finding it hard managing the food in my fridge and cupboards with use by dates etc. I hate waste so much (partly what got me here I guess) so the freezer is getting a makeover so I have room for all those bits and pieces that wouldn't be great in two days time otherwise.
