So, you might log on here and think I am giving the silliest advice if I am recommending you brush your teeth, but I REALLY am recommending you brush your teeth! Here is what I mean. Each night, I tend to get bored and convince myself I am hungry. I began to realize that if I brush and floss my teeth earlier in the night, I don't eat unless I am really hungry and willing to RE-brush my teeth. As soon as I tuck in my kids, well after I have eaten dinner and probably had a snack, I make my way to the bathroom to brush and floss.
This technique has saved me from doing extra sit ups because if I am munching at night, it is usually junk food and not healthy snacks I am eating. Try it, and let me know what you do to cut back on snacking when you aren't really hungry.

I agree...I work so hard to clean my teeth and get all the chunks that hide away in the gaps due to dental work, that eating something just doesn't seem appealing.
I use this trick sometimes too. But ironically, as I was reading this I was munching on some chips...late at night...and not because I'm hungry. I should have brushed my teeth earlier.
AHAA good confession Tiff. Joni, your teeth look loverly.
