dewdrop's words....

"Say "no" to munching mindlessly at night by fixing a cut-off time, past which you only drink water/tea. It's that simple smile. Or not wink - join us if this makes sense for you and let us know step by step how it all went.

Feel free to join our group and browse through our previous challenges to find out more - though this can be a little bit boring, you might find tricks and tips and success stories. While also finding out that this is a real struggle, as expected. But sticking with us is a success by itself."

    I so need to join this group. I have gotten into a habit where I schedule in my late-night snacking!! It's horrible! So...I did not start on June 1, but I will start today.

    My cut-off time will be 8pm. We usually eat such a late dinner...see, that's my problem. We eat dinner around 7, and then I usually eat again between 9 and 11, depending on what's going on.

    I'm going to say 9pm is my last snack. Period.

    Is that too late?

    And...on the weekends, I will probably have wine after that, but I'm cutting off my nightly glass of wine (a decision I made earlier this morning LOL) starting today too. So that decision along with seeing this group...yes.

    9pm - last snack. No wine on weeknights.

    Weekends... 9pm - last snack. But open to wine.

    Does that work?

    Yay! I did it! And I was even in bed early! I think this will help me get more sleep, also, because I tend to stay up for that last snack late at night...

    So, since I only started this last night, I'm 1, LNS 0!

    Wahoo!

    This isn't easy, but it's working. Now, I'm just waiting to see some positive results because of it.

    April - it ends up really BUILDING on itself!

    I try, to create "streaks" for as long as I can without having a late-night eating party. This month, I'm actually going to try for a REALLY LONG STREAK - maybe even into the double-digits!

    Thanks! I'm nervous about the weekends. I think it will be a lot harder. Especially if they are social evenings.

    But so far, I am...

    I am really proud of myself, doing this. I almost went for another snack last night, but fortunately I was way too tired anyway and just went to bed.

    The weekends will be the REAL challenge.

    Don't be nervous, April - you're building a GREAT streak and if you focus on that, it will help you move through the weekend with FOCUS!

    Well, I am glad I started during the week, when it's easier. Then maybe, seeing how it actually worked, and I could actually do it will help me get through the weekend successfully! :)

    Came close to letting LNS win tonight, but I didn't want to break my streak.

    I will count last night as a loss. I didn't eat super late as I used to, but I ate later than my cut-off. I admit.

    That is so awesome, Beeps! I'm so happy and excited for and proud OF you!!! I haven't made it into the double digits in years. Heck, even my little number is a record for me. I've been telling myself and telling myself I need to cut these late night eating things out, and I haven't. So I can appreciate how excited you must be!
