SAY "NO" TO LATE NIGHT SNACKING IN SEPTEMBER 2015
Replies

Get up. Dust off. And get back on! You can make that the exception, where (if you're like me) it used to be the rule!Pretty obvious I am not going to make my goal.
So I am going to set a new one for the next 15 days:
15/15!
I must do this!!
Onward and downward we go
Fifteen days…today plus two weeks. Don't let anything be more important than showing your impulses who is boss! Shoot, reward yourself - after that 15 days - with an intentional Late Night Snack day. Be intentional (not impulse) with it and it's still a win, in my never-to-be-humble opinion.
Everyone, we're redefining "normal" for our minds and emotions. The latter is probably where this war is fought for everyone in this group. We can all do math, so it's more than figuring out how many calories we can consume. It's not letting our emotions and impulses decide our future by ruling out present!
Me: 16* …

I'm so proud of/for everyone in this group - new or long-term!

I agree! We are all hanging in there and doing our best. Perhaps we need to cut ourselves a little slack. Maybe we should state how many nights we may snack and then we are deciding when to do it rather than be driven by impulse. You might even decide in the end not to snack on your designated day, which would be a double win!
We don't need to be perfect, just in control.
And if we do fall off the horse, just climb right back into the saddle. Plotting the course of a yacht is a series of adjustments. So, too, must we plot our course in life.

I am currently on a great streak with my daily food and exercise and weight loss. Nothing quite like feeling energetic and confident.
Of course, i have to brush off all the doubts that come up telling me this cant last! I just have to take it one bite, one step at a time, the rest will take care of itself.
Slow and steady wins the race.0 -

My goals are to continue not eating after 8 pm and to continue the no yo/yo effect!
I held to my goals while on vacation in Israel and my final numbers for August were: ME: 31 LNS: 0 Streak: 43 AND I hit another goal and lost 5 lbs! Not hard in an environment where there is good fresh food and plenty of walking up and down hills, mountains and caves! So my goal is to continue being and doing fit stuff instead of eating empty calories!
September 1: ME: 1* LNS: 0 Streak: 44
There is no place like home! Let's go and remember the goal is to be the best you can be! Good luck everyone!

Everyone is doing reall great! Whether you have a streak or not, just the fact you are showing up and trying counts. Before you can defeat a problem, you have to recognize it, admit it and get the strength to fight it! So, good show everyone!
Wise words!

I posted this last night on the belief that I was under control. I lost control later. I probably ate 1,000 extra calories in dried fruit and raw nuts and nut butters.

Night two of out of control LNS. This time though it was way worse. I bought a ton of junk food that I've only had once or twice in the last nine and a half months. Cookies, cake, ice cream, bread, potato chips, and fried chicken. I stuffed myself until I felt sick, and still feel sick this morning. Not worth it. Totally a reminder that the choices and changes I've made are keeping me from a downward spiral that would lead me right back to where I used to be. Back to better choices!!!

Take one day at a time...it's just a small bump in the road. You can conquer!

It's great to see I am not alone in the late night snacking area. I have felt like such a failure, had no self discipline and was just a loser! But seeing all your posts, I am inspired to get back on that horse and try again! Thanks!!!
You are definitely not alone! There are many of us, as you can see, in the same boat. I find this group very encouraging to myself, too. 0 -

Sorry for the late response. Yes, that's exactly how you log it.

I think that is a great idea! I'm kinda scared to do that because I know it will probably trigger me to eat late every night, but if that's something you want to try, go for it!! Keep the group informed of your success, and, again, thanks for the idea!

I gave myself permission at the beginning of Sept to ease the restriction at the weekends. So far I have decided not to take advantage and have maintained my 9 pm cut off every day. Before I started posting here that wouldn't have happened.
If I can do it, anyone can. One day at a time, keep on trying.

WooHoo!! Another streak is launched! Great job!
I like @TerriRichardson112 's idea: Give yourself permission. Even if, like Terri, you choose not to use it, there's something psychological about knowing you can. It's not as overwhelming as "never ever ever again..." Do it on purpose, not on impulse, and you stay in charge!0 -
