If you live alone, the trick is not to have any of those stupid things in the house. It's hard to raid a bare cupboard. Which, of course, is no help when hot friends show up with sexy bottles of wine.

kpwcalories. I think you are very special. How so? Because you obviously can read minds; since your last sentence absolutely read mine!! Lol.
Thanks for the advice.

Yeah u just have to be strict, set a time and don't go past it. I would drink a green tea w coconut oil and ACV after my last meal to tie me over and if I got hungry I'd have another tea plain.

Over 30 yrs ago, I saw an Oprah episode where it was mentioned not to eat after 6PM. I tried it and to this day, no kidding, no matter how hungry I get, I never eat past 6PM. It just became a habit. Helps that I only go out to eat a couple times a yr. I am not suggesting anyone else do what I do. :)

As an intermittent faster, I try not to eat past 7pm most nights. I agree with Sugar...just gotta make it a habit, drink a lot of water during that time...and try to head to bed earlier if you can :)

That sounds like good advice. Thank you all. Sugar Waffle, my business keeps me on very strange and long hours compared to most 9-5 work hours. Since I own my business, I do work long hours and my Mercedes gets driven too much! So at times, lunch is at 6:00 pm. But I try to eliminate excuses and this, though valid, is a problem. Maybe I can realistically do a 7:30 cut off time though.

@KPW +1 The Disposal is Your Friend. Fire that Bad Boy Up and Put Him to Work. Wine is divine, especially when coupled with aerobics. Special K Chocolate (et al) = Disposal Fodder.

I think you can console yourself with the fact that you're having more fun than many of us are when your sexy bottles of wine come over.

Do a little exercise in that time and then you won't want to, It doesn't have to be big or a lot just enough to get your mind in the right frame. Of course you could just go to bed. =)

tv if full of nothing if not highly "dressed" food ads....I don't watch it and saw some commerical tv once and wondered how a person on any kind of food program could manage with this trap. Try reading?

Yeah kpwcalories, I could have it much worse! Lol.
But even with this problem, I am still losing though very slow but steady. I would just love to do one of those BIGGEST LOSER moments and lose 9 pounds in a week!
I usually watch the news bellcurvz, especially with the crazy things going on in politics at the moment. So I don't get those ads that often. Heck, I see more Viagra ads then food ads. Lol.
Skwhite, I have trouble sleeping and have tried that but it just pumps me up more. I think I will do as one of you said, create a habit but an empowering one as Tony Robbins says.
