Lauren,
I have some of the same issues. When the day starts finally wearing down I'm getting hungry in that needy sort of way. Sometimes I feel like I need to reward myself with food and sometimes I just have no self-control at night. So I came up with some allowable latenight snacks. Healthy Choice frozen fudge bars are only 80 calories and low fat. One of those more than satisfies that craving for comfort food. Sometimes I make a cup of hot cocoa using Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate powder, splenda, and fat free milk. The dark chocolate is really satisfying and I can sip it slowly to make the most of it. Or apple slices with a couple of small slices cheddar cheese.
And the other thing I do is to split my daily food intake up into 6 small meal-ettes so I have less opportunity to actually be hungry to begin with. That helps me identify whether I am actually in need of food or just want it!
