After around 55yrs old with two children grown, I developed a late evening snacking habit along with my slim and trim husband. I weighed about 140-145 lbs then. I started also gaining weight. My husband stayed slim. And long story short, I kept this bad habit up even after my husband died in 2009. And got worse with my eating habits, eating quick food, higher carbs, junk, etc. By 2018, I had reached my highest ever weight. 216.bs. Really helped to stop buying the snacks. Living alone I don't like eating breakfast when I first get up. I combine my lunch and breakfast together. And I eat a later dinner so I am not actually that hungry in the later evenings. I also do most of my house chores in late evenings, that keeps me busier and mind off snacking. Or I work on a hobby. If I do have a snack, it is something healthy. I love Plain Greek yogurt with some berries. I usually, like Karen drink a cup of either hot tea or glass of iced green tea while watching a movie . I find the tea helpful for cravings. But after 6 yrs of losing down to a more normal weight, this is actually no longer a habit for me. I seldom have cravings for sweets.

I set a time limit to not eat anything after 5:00pm it took me awhile to stop all night eating but in time all my cravings disappeared and I either drink water or unsweetened tea after 5:00pm
Everyone is different this works well for me
