        FEED YOUR BODY RIGHT: LOSEWHILE YOU SNOOZE
When nighttime noshing threatened to derail Cheryl Lachenmayer's weight-loss efforts, she didn't give in. Instead, she turned in—and lost 40 pounds.
For most of her adult life, Cheryl maintained a healthy weight without any type of dieting. But that changed after the birth of her two daughters. A 50-pound gain during each pregnancy catapulted her out of her normal weight range. At 170 pounds, Cheryl, of Dou-glassville, Pennsylvania, was on the verge of qualifying as clinically obese.
She joined Weight Watchers. She knew that the organization's low-fat meal plan would provide a structure for developing healthy new eating habits.
But new habits take time to form. And during those first weeks, Cheryl faced the same dilemma every day. She had no problem sticking with her meal plan at breakfast and lunch. But staying on track through dinner required more effort. By evening, her resolve sputtered and stalled. She'd get intense cravings—often for ice cream or cheese and crackers.
Cheryl's solution? When her willpower quit for the day, so did she. Rather than cave in to her cravings, she simply went to bed. Sometimes, she turned in as early as 9 o'clock. She felt a little silly going to bed so early, but it worked.
Cheryl, now age 39, lost 40 pounds over the course of 7 to 8 months. Since her body has adjusted to her new way of eating, she doesn't need to turn in early anymore. But she recommends it as a coping tool for anyone who is wrestling with nighttime cravings.
WINNING ACTION
Get a good night's sleep. According to a study at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, there is a limit to the amount of willpower that a person can exert in a single day. That limit is highly individual. But as a general rule, when you start to hear the call of nighttime cravings, that can be your cue to turn in for the evening. You can sleep off your cravings and wake up with rejuvenated resolve.
