NO LATE NIGHT SNACKING CHALLENGE-- MARCH 2021

in Challenges
If you haven't seen this challenge before, let me brief you about it:

We started this thinking: "Looks like I'm self-sabotaging by munching/bingeing after dinner" or "Mhmm... I'm kinda doubling my in-calories at night".

What you have to do to change the way you feel about your eating at night:

- decide what late night snacking means to you (could be either bingeing, if you're inclined to it or simply eating anything at all after a certain time; some may find that having a healthy snack after dinner is perfectly alright and be upset only when they go overboard)

- report in the thread. We post by the formula:
Me: X vs. LNS: Y,
where X is "how many evenings you stuck to it" and Y "the times late night snacks won". You may want to also add a * to the latest number. Feel free to also post streaks of how many days (in a row) you've managed to be free of late night snacking

It's as simple as that. Or as complicated , as you will discover. Nevertheless, the persistence and good results of some of our "old" members (and some people keep coming back) show that the battle is worthwhile!

Have I touched a cord? Then: You are welcome!

    I'd like to have a little higher percentage of success this month. Last month no LNS 82% of the time so I'm shooting for at least 85% this month. Let's do this thing, friends!

    I made sure to eat a couple smaller things in the late afternoon/evening and have another small snack before I left for hockey. Met my calorie goal, didn't snack when I got home - SUCCESS! I drank more water yesterday than usual too, not sure if that's related.

    It's 10:28pm and I'm still hungry.
    But I'm doing accounting work, so I can't just go to sleep to ride out the hunger.
    Ugh

    Just interjecting here to pass on something that may help someone who may have binging issues at night. For many eating is a habitual behavior. Changing behavior does take time, but you don't have to entirely change it all the time. It's NOT wrong to eat late at night. The body doesn't designate late night eating as the reason to weight gain. It's still all about overall calories. If you enjoy eating at night (I do and eat up till 11:30pm) then just be sure you have the calories to spare. Leave yourself 300 or more calories after dinner. Now you can still eat and still lose weight. I get that this is a challenge, but there's no need to suffer through weight loss and actually hate doing it. Because it just makes it that much easier to regain weight if you ever decide you're tired of doing it that way.
    If you decide you want to eat without late eating the rest of your life, that's okay too. Just be sure that's the way you'll continue to avoid weight regain. If the OP or others don't find this helpful, I'll gladly delete it.
