April's Challenge "No snacking after dinner"

lulabellewoowoo

Last night was not a failure or a success. So I am still at Tonight will be a success, but I am going to up my cutoff time for now to 9 p.m. until I can get some consistency under my belt, and then slowly back it down again. That worked for me oh so many moons ago

sunnysashka, thanks for the link - always happy to get new recipes/ideas :flowerforyou:. Moreover, when they're healthy .
Betsy and Rosemary, you rock! Lulabelle, you plan sounds reasonable - remember what Zaza said? We have to be reasonable, if we want to make this last. Keep being inspirational.

Thanks to the support I got from lulabelle :flowerforyou:, I was motivated to stay strong last night and finished dinner by 9. Hurray :happy:, one more night down.

I will see how it goes with a cut off of 9pm(BST).

Good afternoon, sir. How did it go?

I'm pleased to report that last night was a success for me. It helped to know that I'd have to come here and "report" my failure if I ventured back into the kitchen. I also told my son..he can be a great food police. So instead of going downstairs for more water, he gladly played waiter to keep me out of the Kitchen.

Day 1 - Me 1 vs Snacking ZILCH!

I also started the C25K this morning and did FINALLY. I'm so proud of myself. I went over my calories yesterday by 174 (not bad/could have been worse) but I'm most proud that I tracked EVERY BITE and have totally planned out today too!

Well done, everyone! How about keeping a record of everyone's progress, as is done in other challenges? I'll start with my numbers, copy paste and add yours (or "Quote" and delete the [ quote ] and [/ quote ] lines).
Before doing it, I will admit to having had 2 exceptions, but they were both justified and the food was under control not controlling me , so I'll count those nights as well.

Dew: 7 - Late snacks: 0.

One more night down.
I suggest we update the list of counters weekly (say on Thursday), although with each report, we can/should say how far we've gotten. Does this make sense? It will give us also a nice overview of how many we are in this and will make it maybe a tiny bit harder for people to drop .

I am 8/8. When I figure out how to do the tally thing I'll add it in right. Just a bit tech challenged still. The 20somethings will help me here at work. Have a good evening/day where ever you all are. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Yesterday it was hard. I had gusts, they have brought brownies, ice cream... I did not touch it. Saved some for morning breakfast for me. Had delicious breakfast and another benefit is - NO GUILT. Because I was strong last night! ))):drinker:

I am in. Yesterday was my second day on MFP and I did so well, and then last night I couldn't seem to resist eating. Had a lot of popcorn. Cooked on stove in Canola Oil with I can't believe it's not butter spray on it. Night time snacking is one of my worst habits. I will try really hard to do this with you all. Good luck to everyone.

Rosemary, just "Quote" (the button at the bottom of the last post with the list), then delete [ quote ] and [ /quote ] from it. I'll put in your data for Thursday - I suggest we update it only once a week and until then keep record on a personal level. Where are everyone else's numbers?

Well, my goal for the month of April was 20 out of 30 days of success. Well, I have blown 9 days of them. I have had 3 successes so far, which means I have had 8 :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :"not successes" (I hate the word FAILURE).

Tonight, it's just me by my little lonesome, so I can't blame it on anyone else. So 7:30 for me. I can do this!!!
