Default Snacking at night

First post in a few years and for some weird reason my work computer will not allow me to use the 'search' function so here goes:

We did LCHF last year and I lost almost 50 lbs but fell off the wagon about 6 months ago so recently started back. All day long I'm fine with my choices at work and evening dinner with my wife so no issues there. What I'm really struggling with is snacking at night.

While we are not following an actual plan, we are definitely keeping carbs under 40g per day but not counting macros, and I have lost 10lbs in the first 2 weeks. I am proud of that and it keeps me honest until about 8pm when sitting in front of the television I start wondering what's in the pantry.

In the past it was nothing to put away a litre and half of ice cream per night, followed with some potato chips and possibly cookies. Although we don't have any of that bad stuff in the house I tend to overdo it with LC snacks that we do have. Specifically, almonds and homemade desserts.

My wife will make a week's worth of these little 'fat bombs', or 'homemade LC cheesecake' and I would have almost four or five of them in a night, leaving me without any for the other days of the week. When they're gone I resort to HUGE spoonfuls of natural peanut butter.

I completely understand that I am sabotaging my efforts but I almost feel panicky if I don't have anything to snack on. Please tell me I'm not alone and if possible how to overcome this.
