Hello everyone,

Those of us with behavioural or emotional eating issues (and there are a lot of us) often suffer in the evenings. Sometimes is seems akin to "colic", ie what happens to those babies that cry for the first few years but are never diagnosed with anything. For some strange reason, 6pm comes around, and internal chaos sets in. Or whatever. It's bound to be different for each person, but you know what I'm talking about. I have incredible self control at work, or out and about. But once at home, where I'm supposed to be able to relax.... you guessed it. All **** breaks loose. Or, if I do find a way (eg carb counting, exercise tracking) to control eating in the evening, I obsess over it until I make it dysfunction. Sound familiar to anybody?

I must "defeat the evening" if ever I am to change something. But before I officially wage my war, I would like to know if anybody else out there has an evening problem. If so, do they have good ideas for how to get beyond it? And if you are one of those rare, lucky folks who actually no longer has to worry about a past evening-problem, can you share with me what you think were your keys to success?
