Hello, Not sure how or where to start versus saying eliminate late night snacks. I'm a 49 year old Perimenopausal (shoot I may be in menopause now).
The bored snacking is the worse for me and that's where I need pointers. Looking forward to the teamwork.

I was always twiggy in high school and college. Now I'm at my heaviest at 166, not a good feeling.
 
Welcome, Cradle. When you say bored snacking is it at specific times of day (like 4 pm you always get graze-y) or with specific "acitivies" (like watching tv)? I find that eating highly calorie-dense food outside of meals and the urge to do so are habit as much as anything else.
 
I can relate to the boredom snacking. I've been trying to stick to set meal times and notice when it's actual hunger vs. habit. Would love to hear what’s worked for others too, especially late at night.
 
I know exactly what you mean. The late-night snacking, especially when you're just bored, can be a real killer. It's so easy to do. I have had to deal with this, too. It's not about willpower. It's about changing your routine.

When you feel the urge to snack, try to do something else. Take a walk around the house. Drink a big glass of water. Call a friend or listen to a podcast. That can often be enough to make the craving go away.

Also, try to keep healthy things on hand. Have nuts, fruit, or Greek yogurt ready to go. Then, if you do snack, it's not a disaster. It is all about being consistent, not perfect.
