Some of us don’t have a choice, though. When I work the night shift, I usually don’t get home until about 11:00 or so, and, because I’m a Type 2 diabetic, it would be far too long for me to go without eating if I wait until I get up the next morning, since I only have one actual meal break at work, and on the night shift, that’s at 5:00 pm. Therefore, my final meal of the day during that shift has to be the moment I get home.
They’ve recently changed their mind on eating later at night, and have determined that eating later does not make you fat. People in other countries traditionally eat later (restaurants in Spain don’t even open at night until after 9pm), and they aren’t overweight like we are. For Cathy, the problem is more of the emotional eating and not exercising (except for running to the mall).

Actually, I agree with Cathy. People who call after 8:00 are barbarians!
