How do you not eat crap and drink wine when the kids go to bed??

[laneydaye]

i cant wait to raid the fridge and the kids snacks....glass of wine and im laughing, but i wasnt laughing when i put my jeans on this morning and they were tight round top of legs and middle...... think i need to train myself not to do it but how?

I wish I knew... I'm losing weight at the moment but the evenings are my real weak spot. I get the kids to bed by 7.15pm and all I can think about is making a coffee and eating chocolate. I've trained myself pretty much out of eating crap at all other times, but still stuck in the evening - so if you find out, let me know!

Hobbies....I know it sounds sad but doing something you enjoy rather than chores makes me forget about treats. Last night made Santa sacks....no wine, no crisps.

i big bowl of oranges

an arse pain to peel but worht it in the end

delicious

or a bowl of cherries

just bathed the kids, got my pj's on and already im thinking about what im gonna have...mmmmm i shall be really good and try to do my ironing instaed...

i tend to have a bowl of cereal, or some weight watchers bread toasted with cup of tea

easier said than done but I have found that doing my nails helps as its difficult to eat without smudging the polish lol.maybe do different things each evening...pluck eyebrows,exfoliate(helps that orange peel lol) etc. be interesting to see other ideas as the evenings are my weakness too!

sit on an exercise bike till you go to bed?!

clean your teeth after you put the kids to bed

don't buy crap and don't buy wine

Keep the kids up all night

Glad to hear I'm not alone with this one! Can you get out in the evenings after they've gone to bed? I went swimming with my sister the other night and felt very smug at 'exercising' rather that slobbing out! Also I advocate hobbies that are not conducive to alcohol and food mess such as card making, knitting and cross stitch!

Me too - just love tea and biscuits - not good but so nice after a busy day.

I love your idea sssandy.
Sit on an excercise bike from 8 til 11.30.
How slim would I be within a couple of weeks?

Thats the reason why I put the kids to bed

Wheres my glass of wine gone?????????
