Hi I am very over weight and I want to lose a pounds but I have a very bad problem here lately I have been eating at around 8:00 and been craving candy and chips and always give in are they any way too build up power to not eat the candy and chips or late at night?? please I really need your help I got to lose this weight I have three kids I have been drinking a lot of water I dirnk a cup or can of soda a day if that now it is the eating thing that I have to worry about please please help thank you all! :(

Personally, I wouldn't know what steps to take, but my aunt has the same problem. She has learned that drinking all that water helps but too much can cause you to have water retention, like make you swell.
I am pregnant, and know what you mean about the cravings, which I was recently put on a strict diet due to the gestational diabetes... and all I want is something sweet!! And its late at night. My suggestion may not be the healthiest... I bought some graham crackers, and some honey peanut butter, it doesn't take much and it kills the craving... another snack when I want ice cream, instead I bought some Sherbert and that has really helped. If you set you a diet plan, unproffesionally, if you can't afford the professional help, is to set down, and write you out a diet plan, like for say a week, on healthy things that you can eat, and smaller portions, which I am sure you can find a website that will help with that. They say never eat a serving that is bigger than your fist. If you eat out their serving is sooooo over portioned! Always get a to-go box... eat half or less.. or if its too tempting for later than night, don't even get a to-go box!
Sorry that its prob not what you wanted, but I just wanted to add my suggestions. Good Luck!

Got to stay away from candy, unless it is sugar-free. Two appetite suppressants for me are white, seedless grapes, and grapefruit. I can eat either and the appetite goes away for hours.

When you crave sweets it can mean you are lacking other nutritients.
When you crave sweets eat some protein or something salty like chips will usually curb the craving. Also eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
