Night #6 of no snacks

Every night for nearly a week, I have refrained from eating after 8PM. Although I do allow unsweetened herbal tea. Last night was rough, I wanted something, a sandwich, cookies, just something. But I made it to bed w/o extra food and my reward was finding out that a pair of my jeans are now falling off of me and I'm wearing the shorts I couldn't get into this summer (no elastic waist, lol.) WTF, this is SIX, just SIX nights. For crying out loud, what the heck was I eating?!! Or maybe it's just that food at night is just really that bad, you won't be doing anything so terribly strenuous that could work it off, for the most part. Still, into a different pant size in 6 days? That's just mind boggling.
