    Lorna, don't despair! :hugs: (why don't we have a smiley for this here?)

    Me: 9 - LNS: 5

    Wednesday was excellent (dinner at 8, strong afterwards). Last night I had dinner late (kinda leftovers from my 6:30 p.m. meal, but I figured that was too early to call it dinner), so again not a 100% clean point, but I'll take it :wink: and be stricter tonight.

    Wednesday night gave me the feeling I was in control again and felt good - thanks to all who have encouraged me (again! :wink:)

    I love it how active and supportive this group has turned out to be this month :happy:.

    Peppermint tea tends to work for me with a little squirt of agave nectar in the evenings. I have to be in the mindset though. A week in and my weight is down by quite a bit. Happy days :tongue:

    Wholeheartedly agree that this is a great support group with a lot of great ideas. Recently [over the last 3 days] :smile: , I've tried changing meals from the traditional three to 6 spread evenly throughout the day. Not feeling the overwhelming need to binge at night, though can honestly say I don't feel truly satisfied either.

    Grrrrrrr, another point to LNS last night. I was too stressed from dealing with my daughter's dance rehearsals/upcoming recital and I just BOMBED at the "planning" part of my day. So, there I was, munching on cherries and Stacy's pita chips (YUM, YUM) right before bedtime.

    Yes, this sounds like the challenge for me. Many days I eat the majority of my calories after 9 pm as snacks. I still usually stay under my daily limits, and always under my weekly, but I'd like to have a more balanced approach to my calorie intake. Going to try to spread them out earlier in the day, and cut off the late night munching!

    Post dinner snacking for me equals poor choices. It is like you have some calories left what can you sneak in before bedtime. This is a good challenge for me. Until I make good choices, I accept this challenge and will not snack after 8. Will have a decaf tea.

    Beeps, I'm sure you'll be back on track tonight ;). I've seen you around for quite some time now, enough to know what you're capable of ;). As for the 2 points, they only mean you'll do this again in July, so that you can improve your scores :wink:.

    Keep up the good work, everyone!

    This can make such a HUGE difference... but it is SO hard for someone who loves a late night bag of popcorn or bowl of ice cream (me). I would definitely classify myself as a late nigth snacker, but it is such a bad habit. I am committing to cutting myself off at 8pm. No exceptions! :)

    Though I'm not sure that eating poorly all day while staying within calories and not snacking constitutes a win.:ohwell: Today is anew day!

    We had friends over for a game night last night. I have no guilt over it. at. all. But I will still count it towards LNS.

    I am hardpressed tonight not to eat something...so I've reverted to scanning the Community Posts for friends who need motivation and are willing to give back. Found some good advice to drink peppermint tea. So searched my tea stash and found ONE BAG. I will get to the store tomorrow to get more if it satisfies my craving to eat. Fortunately, I love tea...but lately...I have been drinking the caffeine type and it has been keeping me awake! . THANKS for listening...I've made it through tonight...soooo far!!!!:smile:

    Thanks :flowerforyou: karenleona :flowerforyou: You are sooo encouraging. This is the place to be late at night when fighting the urge to snack.

    Thanks EVERYONE for your posts...I am VERY encouraged. I am sipping my Mint Tea as I continue reading... :love:

    :drinker: Debbie

    great plan to drink tea at night....i do that as well as i find it takes some time and i feel satisfied after and no need to eat anything!! when i am really stuggling i like to come on here and read the success stories to keep me motivated!!
    keep up the great work :flowerforyou:
