I'm lost. Every day I think 'today I'm back on the wagon' and I start out with a great breakfast & lunch. In the afternoons I cave to a carb craving, but only a little one, still manageable. I eat great suppers. But then the late-night snacking starts, doesn't have anything to do with hunger, it's emotional eating. Stress gives me this sense of entitlement (I 'deserve' it, I 'need' it, tomorrow will be a better day and I'll go back to dieting then...). I know better! These are the exact same thoughts my cigarette addiction used to send me. I swear, high-glycemic simple carbs ARE addicting!

And I've tried everything (having carrots & such on hand, going to bed earlier, just cold-turkey resisting, etc) but I'm still losing my willpower in the evenings

And I've gained back about 6-7 pounds.
