Hi Mama,
It is hard to get on a schedule and not eating late at night. Everyone has different times they like to eat. I am very lucky that my dh is home on average 4:30 everyday and I usually have supper on the table 5-5:30. This works out great for everyone. The kids are fed and ready to go to their activities (dinner closer to 4:45-5:00 on those nights) and then we have a bigger block of time to spend together in the evenings without worrying about getting supper on the table.
My girls are in bed by 8:00 so having supper later is not an option when they still have to get a bath and do homework.
Of course during the summer months supper time changes a bit, but I still like to eat early.
You could do a few things to change your eating time.
Cook earlier, eat your supper when you are hungry and then re-heat for dh.
Eat a salad, or something lite about 5:00 when you are hungry, then eat pro/fat when hubby is home, stay away from the carbs that late, sets off a craving.
Or cook and eat when you are hungry, then re-heat when hubby is home and have a lite salad with him, so you can still enjoy a meal together even though you aren't eating a big meal.
Easiest way to keep me from snacking after supper.....I clean up the kitchen, run the disherwasher..which means..the kitchen is closed for the night! I don't want to have a dish sitting it the sink all night, so no more eating once the kitchen is closed.
If I could, I would have a huge door on the kitchen....and close it after dinner, no reason to go in there unless you are eating.
