December 2011- no late night/wise choice snacking

lulabellewoowoo

Do you find yourself searching for something to snack on after dinner? Do you make healthy choices all day and right before bed you decide to go ahead and have a spoon or two of ice cream, a cookie, chips, etc.?

For some odd reason, this happens almost every night and you want it to STOP.

If this sounds like you, join us so we can support one another to beat late night snacking!

Take either dinner or a cut-off time to be the last time you eat for the day, after that time, you may have tea and water only.

Tally your progress daily for a monthly total.

For Example:
Me: 22 ~ LNS: 9

You may join at ANYTIME. You don’t have to be successful every day; you just have to do your best. We’re not perfect and we all have non-successful days but the goal is to NOT GIVE UP! And keep posting to help encourage the rest of us

Welcome

My cut-off time for this month will be 8:30pm. I will allow myself 1 late night and the cut-off time will be 11 pm.

Let's kick LNS butt this month!

I actually stopped eating at 8 p.m. but we were out, and I am counting it as I didn't graze on anything when we came home, and only had a trial bite of the cake at dinner. Great start to the month...

Thanks, lulabellewoow, foe keeping the challenge going. :flowerforyou:

I can't believe I blew it last night - just wasn't thinking. :grumble: Won't stop me from doing better, but I had really wanted to see how long I could go without snacking.

No worries Zaza. You will get back on track and that one little number will be but a memory.

Dew, where are you?

Hope we haven't lost too many people. I need the support.

Does anyone else have the problem that if they eat out, they still feel munchy when they get home? I'm cut out alcohol for the month as a new weight lifting program, and I was hoping that would help the dinner out munchies, but had them last night. But resisted. Too tired to eat anyway after the workout my hubby put me through. Yikes.

This is actually your own personal challenge. Tea and water are great (as long as your bladder is strong through the night). This challenge was designed to stop the needless grazing that alot of us tend to do after dinner. Wanna join?

I was hungry late last night ...blew it again.:explode:

rita, I think sugarless chewing gum is just fine any time. The hygienist at my dentist office likes Trident - has some ingredient that's actually good for your teeth!

Remember that you gotta find what works for you. If eating junk is your issue, then start small and substitute with fruits or low cal snacks. If simply OVEReating late at night is your problem, some people have set their cutoff time for two hours before bedtime. For me, I just set a specific time since I have no idea when I'm going to bed and I wake up so very early for work. But you figure out what works for you and make it your own personal challenge. There are no critics here. Just motivators

I think this month will be pretty easy....until the end of it. Just in case, I am going to be METICULOUS with NO LATE-NIGHT-SNACKING over the next couple of weeks.

I am finding it easier NOT to do it, just now....but, that's because we are being home-bodies and there is NO food sitting around on my counter!!

C'mon ladies, we can DO THIS!! It is only the beginning of the month and it is only going to get HARDER as the holidays draw near. So, give it your BEST SHOT this week and next week.

You don't need those late-night snacks. You aren't hungry. Walk around the block (or even up and down your stairs at home) and stick your nose in a good book.

No cheating!! We can ALL do this because we are all on the same page, supporting each other to GREAT health!

I can't believe I blew it last night. I was hungry after my evening Zumba class and was tired, mindlessly snacking on crackers and watching tv. All of a sudden, I noticed I was 10 minutes after cut-off. Tonight will be better.
