    My new day one fell flat. I had a granola bar at 11:30 last night. I just couldn't sleep.... my stomach was hurting for food and growling at me...
    So today I will try again.

    Congratulations gmukris on making it to 8 nights!!!:flowerforyou:
    I only got as far as 7 nights and then had to go back to the beginning. But, I've now had 3 nights in a row of no snacking, tonight will be 4. It can be done.

    Okay, I'm back to day one.

    Yesterday, I came home from mountain biking about 9:15 and I very absentmindedly stuffed a Fiber One toaster pastry in my face. I then remembered the challenge and it caused me to use language unbecoming a successful MFPer.

    Oh well, I'll see if I can make it further this time. Hopefully practice will make perfect.

    Thanks, Zaza :happy: It is a really hard challenge, but I feel better in the morning knowing I made it through the evening.

    Tonight is 4 nights of no snacking. I almost slipped and then I remembered this thread. Thank you dewpearl for starting it!
    Good night all.

    I am once again back at day one. I binged tonight after another complete blow out in my life. I don't know why I try to feel better with food... because in the long run I feel 100x worse after I binge. It would be different if I could binge on carrots, celery and broccoli, but no, it has to be "deep fried, stick to your thighs" and ice cream.
    I even had Sushi at 9:00 to celebrate with my daughter the fact that she passed her belt test for Karate (it was her first test and I thought it was only fitting to have Japanese food to go with her Japanese test.

    I think tomorrow will be better.

    To make things even worse, I skipped the gym today and went to the bar for 4 drinks... at least I was drinking Windsor Diets, but it is kind of stupid to even drink diet pop when I binge hard. :explode: :explode: :explode: :explode: :grumble: :explode:


    Anyone have any ideas on how to not turn to food when I feel like my life is completely falling apart?

    Hey thanks. I was wondering because I feel like there is such a debate about it. I know that I am really bad about saving most of my cals for night because that is when I am most prone to eat. I am usually busy during the day and all I want to do is eat at night because I am relaxing. I do eat during the day just not a lot. I have been doing good so far this week though. I haven't eaten at least two hours before bedtime everynight.

    I had to stop drinking to get my night eating under control. You know alcohol lowers inhibitions, right? It causes poor judgement. It also seems to cause a desire for fatty foods to absorb the alcohol. Our bodies are smart!

    Congrats to both of you and to all of you not giving up!
    Yesterday was a good day for me, but I got in after 9p.m. (although I was coming from aerobics) and was hungry as I got home. So not sure whether that should count as a bad day, but I'll try to make today my day 1. Things are going pretty good at my end, I seem to have dropped the (fake, maybe) weight that I gained by cheating last week.
    Hang on in there, people - we're on our way to two digit numbers!

    I would like to join. I usually teach Tae Kwon Do until 9 or so then get home from the gym around 11. So I allow that into my schedule. I would like to keep track of that so I guess I am on 1 day right?

    Sorry about that. Last night was 5 nights in a row of no late night snacking!:happy: I was hungry and tempted, but this thread did the trick.
    Great job gmukris and NewMK08 (can't believe you're giving up soda too - that is hard, but a great decision):flowerforyou:
    We can all do this - I feel very optimistic. Got to run to the gym. Have a great day all. Be careful with the calories tonight - it's the week-end.

    Good luck to you :flowerforyou:

    TheBull50, welcome! You've come such a long way! Congrats!

    As for me, reseting the counter to 0 today. I'm pretty happy about my cals. But for me, is all or nothing - once I put anything into my mouth, it's more than just that. Still, I agree with kirstina - this thread keeps me more accountable.

    So, here I go again... :wink:

    Thanks, dewpearl. At least I did my Zumba to the tune of 600 calories today. A bit of frustrated energy I think. :tongue:

    AWESOME JOB!!!!!! That first night is the absolute hardest!!

    I have gotten back to completing 2 nights of no snacking!!!!! I even went to a school function for my oldest last night an I wasn't even tempted!! Of course that was because I was busy bidding in the silent auction. LOL
    Spent $105 but got a couple of x-mas presents, a road side emergency kit for me and a library bag for the family to use on our regular library trips!!

    It was worth the $105 just to succeed another night. It makes me feel so good when I am able to resist temptation.

    I never thought of it that way before. I know tonight I am going to have a couple drinks with an old friend when she comes to town, I will watch myself and the fatty food.... My friend can help me too. Moral support and all.

    I think I am going to keep my drinking down as well. That makes me think of putting a new challenge out there for those MFPers that like their drinks..... Hmmmm... I think I WILL start one.

    Thanks for being so blunt and informative.

    Wanda



    PS I ALSO WISH YOU LUCK!!!! THIS IS SUCH A GOOD CHALLENGE, HARD, BUT GOOD:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :smile:

    6 nights of no late night snacking! (I did use my later week-end cut-off time and I had saved my calories for the later than usual dinner). My friends noticed last night that I had lost some weight. :happy:

    That is great Zaza. It is so wonderful when other people notice at least for me. It makes me feel great and I just want to keep losing so they will keep noticing. 6 nights of no late night snacking good job. Last night was night 5 for me of no late night snacking. I have been doing really good so far.

    Wow, ladies, way to go! You're so good at it!
    I need a piece of advice. I went out tonight. My cut off is 9 p.m., but I ordered a glass of wine at 8:30. So I knew I could not drink it by 9 and could've ordered tea instead, but I still went for the wine. So no food after 9, but still. Then the next drink was a tea (yummy, fruit tea, that was good). What would you honestly do? Count this like day 1 or not? Ah, and I'm under my calories by about 200, since I've worked out today :wink: Well, I could reset the counter, but this starts to annoy me. Well, Kristine was doing it until she managed to stop eating completely, so yeah. To sum up: what would you do?... :glasses:
