in Motivation and Support
The challenge continues! (to challenge us). If you're mad about snacking late at night, in particular on chips, popcorn and M&Ms, join us in the struggle to defeat this habit and change it to: "No more late night snacking!" Take either dinner or a cut-off time to be the last time you eat for the day, after which tea and water only drinker. Then stick to it! and most importantly, stick to us, so that you get over slip-offs. Be certain that you can do it!

We've tried posting week to week, but it hasn't been as successful. So we are going to try the month of October as a whole.

Join at ANY time, with each of individually tallying at the end of each week and even the month. Don't give up. One night of non-success does not scrap you for the week or the month. Make a goal, and if you overcoming one extra night a week or month of success, then you are a winner!

Can't wait to see you on here. We'd love to have your support.

    Dew and Rosemary, are you gonna join me?

    For me this month, Sunday through Thursday, cutoff is a hard 7:30 (no exceptions). Friday and Saturday, no later than 9:30 (but I'm going to try for 9 if I circumstances allow).

    So today it starts.

    Good morning-
    I am up for this challenge. I was doing the weekly in Sept, but didn't have computer access for awhile so I wasn't posting. I think I only snacked 2 nights in the latter part of Sept. :happy:
    So, let's do this for the month of October!!!
    My cut-off time is 9:30 p.m. except for special occasions out - then it's 11:30 p.m.
    Thanks for starting this up again!!! :flowerforyou: It really helps to be accountable.

    Hi zaza, rosemary, and dew. Thanks for the support.

    Well, my hubby saved me last night by not wanting dessert. This is going to take me a few nights to get back into the habit. Time to set my watch alarm again.

    Me 1/Snacks 0

    Tonight, I'm making it 7:30, as Sunday night will be my other 9:30 one since we will be out of town.

    For October ....Me 1 / Snacks O

    Got a new book...."Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half" by Steve & Annette Economides. And I also read somewhere else that control of the diet and control of finances go hand in hand. Interesting, huh!

    Best to all in October :drinker:

    Me: 1 - Snacks: 0 :drinker:. Confession: if it weren't for the challenge, I would have eaten later last night, but I resisted the temptation, at the thought that I cannot lose against them on the 1st of the month. So... good start, yeay me! and thanks once again, Lorna :wink:.

    OMG! I was meant for me to see this topic because late night snacking is my ENEMY! I do just fine throughout the day and then at night I just start snacking on anything in the house. So, I am willing to take on this challenge.

    No Eating after 8 pm (If I am struggling, I will only have 1 piece of fruit)

    Please count me in! I was good for the end of Sept and with cutting off my late-night snacking, but last night was a little more difficult. My cut-off time is 8:00pm, since I'm usually in bed by 11pm. Friday and Saturday nights, I might give myself an extra 1/2 hour, since I sometimes go to bed later on those nights. Good luck everyone! We can do it!

    I got to be this size by late night ice cream.

    My cut-off time is 7pm. Then it is herbal tea.

    I would have lost the point last night, had I not gone so late to bed. Does that count? :blushing:.
