Oooh I like the teeth whitening idea! I may have to try that.

I have big problems with evening snacking myself, although I think for me it's just a (very strong) habit, with maybe some emotional baggage thrown in too. Work is very stressful for me, and when I get home after a 12 hour day I just love to sit and read and snack on (LC, but still not healthy) junk food. Not only does it blow my carb and calorie counts for the day, but I end up feeling big and gross all night.

Hang in there, lemon! I know you can conquer this problem. Shopping sounds like a great distraction. You might also want to try some supplements such as L-glutamine for those carb cravings.
