I hate diets

Ok so this trying to eat healthier and all is so much harder than I thought. I have been blessed in my life that I have never had to watch what I eat. I have always been a small person and food never affected me. So for the first time in my life I am trying to count calories and be good and it is so hard. I never realized how much I like to eat, especially at night. I lay in bed and dream about yummy food instead of sleeping! According to those healthy people out there, you aren't supposed to eat late at night but I have always snacked while I watch tv or before bed. Hunger keeps me up at night. I have to keep reminding myself that this was my idea, to get healthier. But when it is 10 at night, all I want is food food food!!!!
