how to avoid eating before bed time?

I wish to reduce weight by eating less before bed time.
We have dinner around 6pm. But by 10pm I am getting hungry before going to
bed at 12. What can I do to avoid eating?

If you're hungry then you should eat..

if you've got the munchies (as in eating for any other reason than hunger)
find something to keep busy..

If it's hunger though it won't help..

eat dinner later, plan a snack for nine, take what you would have eaten at
dinner, divide it onto 2 plates and eat one with the family, then eat one at
9, Lee

Have a cup of peppermint or another herbal tea.

If you can't move your dinner to a later time how about saving a little of
the calories normally consumed at dinner for a later snack. I often plan
for a late night snack before going to bed. Going to bed hungry is no

Can't you munch on pickles, apples, some carrot sticks etc.? I also
find drinking fluids helps. My big treat is a diet crush cream soda.

Drink fluids cause me to wake up to the bathroom 2 / 3 times at night.
After bathroom, I have difficulties getting back to sleep.

I cannot have tea or coffee. It will keep me up.

Herbal tea has no caffeine. What I've found for me is that eating after
dinner is a behavior that can be controlled. I usually drink sparkling
water if I feel I need something. Occasionally I will save points for
an after dinner snack such as the 100 calorie Nabisco cookie pack with a
glass of skim milk. To avoid eating take a relaxing bubble bath, knit
or do something else with your hands and last of all, just go to bed
earlier than you normally do. Behaviors can be changed.

Those are really good. But talk about "trigger foods"!

I brought a carton of them home from my trip to the U.S. The problem is I
found myself on some days opening up pack after pack of them, eating 500
calories at a sitting instead of 100 calories!

So I'm not buying any more for now.
