Cleaning your kitchen

I wrote last time about "closing the kitchen" so that you keep from eating late at night. Well, now I'm going to talk about cleaning the kitchen every night. I have found that if I have all of the dishes done, I don't eat. I like having a clean kitchen and don't like to have any dirty before I go to bed. Granted, I don't always have the dishes done when I go to bed, but I have found that it keeps me from eating late. Because of my husband's work schedule, he doesn't eat dinner with us. He usually sleeps until about 6 or 7 p.m. and eats after then. If I have the dishes done, I don't like him to make any dirty dishes.
 But with all of my little hints for not eating late, they really seem to be paying off. I have lost over 20 pounds in the last year. I have almost dropped to a size 9 from a 14 when I started this. Please let me know how you're doing! I would love to post your successes too!
