How do I stop overeating in the evenings?

I have a pretty healthy diet. I grew up on loads of fruits and veggies and still eat like that. I eat a good breakfast (eggs or porridge), salad for lunch, something relatively healthy for dinner (always plenty of veg), I snack on fruit/nuts. But come 8-9pm....that's where my problem is. I start eating something and can't stop...a tub of ben & jerry, a whole pack of pringles, haribos, anything I can find. If I can't find anything, I'll run down and buy something (we have a supermarket downstairs). I get really desperate to get something to eat (even though I just had plenty of dinner - portions at dinner are pretty big and enought to satisfy DH, this isn't a hinger issue). I also drink about 1.5l of water a day, it's not thirst.
When I was younger, it wasn't a big problem. But it's all really catching up with me. I can no longer fit in any of my trousers and most skirts. How do I stop? Help!!!!

Frozen grapes, taste like sweets. I always have them in the freezer for when I have a sweet craving.

for when I have a sweet craving.
but if you can go two weeks without giving in to that craving it will vanish .... you can retrain your body's insulin feedback system in an amazingly short space of time

cold turkey on Sugar is well worth it for those with weight to lose
