You're all ready using some strategies. First is recognising its not real hunger but some emotional or habitual eating instead .I can totally understand where you're coming from. As a youngster I lived with a bully of a father who, if you didn't empty your plate, would scream at you inches from your face threatening to thrash you. And he frequently did thrash me. He would cut thick very thick slices of white bread spread liberally with butter and covered with sugar. Hot milk poured over this and he would then insist that I had to eat a large bowlful before bed so that I didn't wake up hungry during the night. 70 years later, and old enough to know better, I actually go hunting through the cupboards for something to eat starting around eight o' clock.
I've been watching YouTube videos about TRE and I have very recently, less than a week, started to try to cut the habit and try to not eat after eight for at least 14 hours. Eating, for me, certainly is just a very bad habit. It's comforting and, having lost my husband of 37 years and my twin brother in nine months, and subsequently having to move out and sell my home, I am living with enormous stress having now been diagnosed with breast cancer last month.
In truth I am not really hungry. I think I feel happier when I'm eating. I do enjoy food but I'm at a loss on how to control this. Maybe an honest record of how we've manage to stop eating in the evening could benefit me? Count me in, please! I've always said that it's up to me to fix me and I think this might be helpful.

Welcome to this stop eating after 7.00 pm challenge @Mcleanmr. We hope you find it helpful.For me I think its more than that, I have a crave to eat and whilst I have had a sufficient tea still feel I need more but really going to try and give this ago
We're boringly predictable @MrsA2, but we've settled into a fairly comfortable routine on most days of the week.Nothing between 15:30 yesterday until 08:30 today.
Last food today was 18:00
That's the idea @MrsA2. Why not focus on all the evenings when you did indeed stop eating at 7.00 pm.And social life intervenes again.
Pub event so ate at about 19:45. Was still hungry when home again so cheese and seed crackers at 22:00.
At least its only every so often.
And I did fast until 13:30 todayAnd social life intervenes again.
