IS it air popped popcorn or a bag of Doritos? There is a difference so maybe if you found something "innocent" to nibble on, you could be more of a night owl without the worry of gaining due to snacking.Rochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18041719544698110212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-43364927303092795502012-06-05T19:40:06.944-04:002012-06-05T19:40:06.944-04:00Kim- I was afraid there was going to have to be a ...Kim- I was afraid there was going to have to be a resetting of the clock.

I'd love to eat dinner earlier because that's when I'm starving but hubs doesn't get home before 6:30 ever so I can't have dinner at 5. That's when I'd like to eat my main meal.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-85372571483242353452012-06-05T09:19:49.382-04:002012-06-05T09:19:49.382-04:00I think it is a hard place to be in and those rare...I think it is a hard place to be in and those rare times it happens, I am not a happy camper. When it starts happening I work harder and then force myself to stay up later and then some how it resets my clock. I know it makes me hungry but I just make myself forget it and drink some water. I know this isn't much help. I also take St. John's Wort. That has helped very much. In fact since IFarm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.com
