Most people do not have diffuculty sticking to"healthier" snacks during the morning and afternoon. Vegetables, 90 calorie yogurts, sugar free ice pops, a low-calorie protein bar, shaved turkey, low fat cheese, etc. However, the after-dinner snacks are more challenging because we have been so conditioned to start reaching for the ice cream, cookies, etc. There is someting about sitting at the tv set watching your favorite show or ballgame and akmost reflex-like, seeking a "comfort" food.
Try to time your dinner such that there is not too many hours between your dinner and sleep..preferably no more than 4. Also, consciously avoid those snacks that were part of your past that led to the weight problem to beging with. Do not have them around the house because there is less chance of getting dressed, going into the car and driving to a 7/11 than if that ice cream was in your freezer. These old, damaging "snacks" will call out to you by your first name if they are there!
