in Motivation and Support
This challenge is for those of us who seem to be prone to tossing out the diet and going crazy with junk food in the evening hours. The goal is to set a cut off time, preferably 2hrs before bed. If snacking is a must we encourage a piece of fruit, a cup of herbal tea or something nutritious of your choosing.

Its pretty wide open really, as we like to encourage people to meet their late night snackin and other healthy life style goals.

I'm calling this a short week because several of us want to begin anew with April since it'll be the first of the month.

Best to all:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    I hear ya Mollyelliott I work night shift too and I had to make a rule to eat my own good food before I ate junk, or McDonalds or the other food that other people bring in to share. I had gained about 50 lbs just from working a lot and going downstairs to McDonalds all the time for a "break". So this is going much better for me now:wink:

    If any one wants to join us we are moving to " No late night "junk"snacking March 29- April 4". Most people are used to seeing the whole date.

    If any body can help me out and post THE LINK that would be great:heart:

    I let my father-in-law get to me last night and kept eating when I should have stopped. So I am 1/2. But I am looking forward to April as I am going to make it my goal to do no late night eating past my goal until my Anniversary on April 20th. Who knows? After 20 days, I may have actually created a habit :)
