I went to bed last night at 9 o'clock - I therefore did not eat anything after dinner (minus a Starbucks mocha light - which clearly doesn't have enough caffeine in it because I then went to bed) I have found an incredibly impractical solution to avoid eating at night.
I did at least manage to wake up at 6:30 and then make it to work at 7:30. Getting to work this early (as opposed to 8, 8:15) always makes me happier.
I'm still working on my actual game plan - so no judging until I figure it out, although I think it will involve a lot of repetitive food at first.
My original plan was to pay someone to walk around with me daily and slap the ice cream/fifth piece of cheese/macaroni and cheese food out of my hand and hand me a carrot. I would eat the carrot. I even like carrots, I just don't grab them first. My husband informed me that we couldn't afford to pay someone to do that.
So plan B involves teaching myself to like eggs and eating mostly the same thing each day. The idea being that I eat around 1400 to 1600 calories daily, find other activities other than eating to do, and find 30 minutes of walking or biking (easiest part - sadly). The teaching myself to like eggs decision comes mostly from being tired of the looks of disbelief when I explain I do not like eggs and apparently they're healthy. My scheme is a bit Amelia Bedelia in nature; I thought if I start making scrambled eggs in the morning and add a lot of ketchup then I could at least eat the ketchup drenched eggs. If I start lessening the ketchup potentially I'll convince myself that the eggs taste good as well. I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow.

Could you put veggies in your scrambled eggs? Then they taste less like egg...
I like Bethany's idea, maybe you could try something like a red chili?
Just a thought.
Glad to hear that finding thirty mins to walk is the easiest part for you, I can never find enough time to do any kind of exercising.
