    Rose 8 vs the Snacks 2.

    One of the girls had Pizza to offer and I had a bite. All in all things are better though I must say. This thread really helps me. It's becoming a way of thinking. :drinker:

    Peppermint tea sometimes keeps me from snacking at night.

    Snacks were making rallying around me last night, trying to get me, but I held my ground.

    Rosemary, I am absolutely sure this is progress. And along the way, you are helping us to stay motivated and grow stronger :hug: (I know there's no smiley here for it yet :smile:)
    AnLucia, tea is indeed a very good way to avoid snacking :flowerforyou:.

    Welcome back, Zaza! :flowerforyou: I know what you're capable of, once you set your mind to it :wink:. So I'm looking forward to some fun competition that your presence here will bring :wink:. Watch out, everyone :smile:.

    slimkitty, yeah you! :flowerforyou:. Keep it up, don't take any defeat other than as a push forward :wink:. And stay vigilant every single night. :smile:

    mindalyn, impressive! :flowerforyou:

    OK, I admit, I like praising people :blushing: - especially when they SO deserve it! :happy:.

    Try an apple or a banana instead :wink:. They'll have the same effect on you (keep you moving), except for the guilt :wink:. And welcome to our team, jam3mom :flowerforyou:

    Another night down: Dew: 11 - Late snacks: 0 (I wasn't feeling well, so I only had a slice of toast around 8:30 and that was it). I've got to stay vigilant, though - last time I thought I had got the hang of this and almost felt like stepping out and doing things on my on, I slipped again. So, here's to keeping on :drinker:!

    Thanks Dew for the encouragement :flowerforyou:

    jam3mom -I hear you with the snacks at work problem. I work nights and some one is always bringing in something yummy. Then there is the "Snack Box", a McDonalds downstairs, people ordering out and the vending machines. A good snack before I start helps and also my rule of eating my "good" food before eating any other food. Usually that helps a lot. And checking in here is a big plus. Everyone is so encouraging :wink:

    Been sick the past couple of days, so sleep and eating is all off.
    9 me/3 snacks. Still ahead of the game :)

    Going away this weekend with my favorite gal to boardwalk with lots of yumminess so late night cut-off as it's going to be a long "slumber party" for my baby girl. Can't wait.

    I mostly snack out of a habit, not because I am hungry, so I've been looking for other things to keep me busy.

    Jason, there's always a next day, you know? :wink: So save the candies for the morning :smile:. Now I want ice cream! :sad: :laugh:

    slimkitty, well done, I am proud of ya! Looks like we have a real competitor among us! :flowerforyou:

    Lorna, kept waiting for you to post yday, so I figured something wasn't right. Hope you're feeling better today and will fully enjoy the weekend :flowerforyou:. Late cut-off sounds right - what I do at parties and such is fix a time past which I only sip on drinks and if possible don't refill (it's like with slimkitty, I'm drinking juice only for the sake of it, not cos I really need it). No need to stress either - just enjoy :flowerforyou:.

    Dew: 12 - Late snacks: 0
    (I had a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice past my cut-off but way before going to bed, so I'm good :glasses: )

    Yep once again! jeez I had a huge bowl of Cheerios & Corn Flakes with syrup although no white sugar only, because it required me opening the bag & ouring into the jar so I skipped that.lol Also I had a bag & a half of cookie crackers about 50 in total another serving of food & glass of hot chocolate. There is still Chocolate Ice Cream but I will not indulge or stuff my face.lol I will consider it non existent at this point, so I guess yeh for that.:wink: Tomorrow is a new day, Thank you Dew & I will certainly put my life on the line. but not really everyone but just to show my certainty I will not be doing that for quite a while again & certainly not day after day. Sorry about the Ice Cream crave now & don't worry there is no more candies left.lol One thing that is good I started u again exercising & will do more tonight, so far I have burned 702 cals will sure to burn another 300+ later today & am sure to continue to along with starting tomorrow to eat well. (hello) So here we go for the last time in a long while>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    By the way Dew you are Awesome!:flowerforyou:

    Came back at 9 last night and decided I'll still have some food - was decent about it, though, and finished it all more than 2 hrs before I went to bed, so Dew: 13 - Late snacks: 0. (thanks, Jason :smile:)
