    Dewdrop: I think it would be easier to create a cutoff 'X" hours before bed, that is normally what I do. My normal is about 7, but the later I eat, the later, I intend stay up. Which is normally 2 hours past the time I eat.

    Smoothdancer: Wow, ball room dancing, sounds beautiful.:flowerforyou: Between my husband and I we have FOUR left feet, neither of us have a step of rhythm. :laugh: I keep taking classes like step and Zumba in an attempt to find it. I can't wait until I am back home with my hubby to do something together and bonding! Dancing is encouraging! Just don't think either of our big toes can take too many missed steps. On another note, your right, definitely eat it if your body craves it, and I think a healthy late night snack is no wear as damaging as a sugary one.

    I was diagnosed about two weeks ago. It is yet another big adjustment. My son has A LOT of food allergies (Milk, Eggs, Peanuts, Tree-nuts, Pine-nuts, Tomato, Spinach, and brussel sprouts). So food in our house is already difficult and I really understand about the planning. I just have a haard time because I always feed myself last. I usually grab something "quick" out of the fridge or snack throughout the day. We all sit together for dinner, I try to sit down at lunch, but honestly their snack and meal times are times for me to catch up with the tornados that follow the children and husband around.
    I was successful last night and tonight since I will be stayin up so late I am adjusting my time to 10:00.
    1 down 4 to go

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm so glad I ran across this thread. I was about to go and get a late nite snack because that voice has been screaming in my head for about 30 minutes or so and the only way to shut it up is to stuff something in my mouth:laugh: . But you have given me the fortitude to ignore it. Thank you guys so much. :smooched:

    I'm joining you and will not have anything after 8:00 p.m. each nite. I usually turn in around 10 or 11 so now I need to find a good distraction. You guys will be my distraction.

    Off to get some herbal tea.:happy:

    How was everyone's night? Now the new year has started with all our new resolutions of healthier lifestyles and less excuses. WE CAN DO IT!!!

    It's time for me to get myself back in gear. Last night, my cutoff was 9 and I succeeded.

    Two out of the three weekend nights, my cut-off is going to be 9 p.m. The rest of the week, I am going to start now at 7:30 and see how that fits. I'm glad all the holidays are over and I can start getting back to normalcy (like I ever knew what normal was :wink: )

    I hope everyone had a happy and safe night! Look forward to hearing from you.

    Happy New Year!!! Hope everyone had a great new year's eve!! Eating wise, mine was ok. I tried to mostly stick to vegetables, but endulged in dipping it a few times. We made some very nice warm onion dip. Anyway, I am alot like slvrcavchick03, when eating sweets. They are my down fall. It's like Lays potato chips, 'you can't just eat one!' I was able to stay away from sweets which was a victory for me. Going out walking today to help get rid of my other snacking frenzy consequences. Have a great day!!

    DiDislosingit- you gave me an idea, I think I will try to have me a nice cup of tea each night before I go to bed, something to relax me and kill some of my late night cravings.

    I had to think of something because I wanted to stay up late and shout Happy New Year with the Times Square partyers. It helped tremendously. Soothing chamomile.

    Happy New Year. Here's to staying on track with our commitments!!!

    Not doing do well. Last night we made a "midnight turkey" had some great tasting snacks and we ate until 1am.... I did stop eatting 2 (almost 3) hours before I went to bed.

    Tonight, I am just getting ready to eat a SMALL meal since I could not eat anything at the Family get together we had today (thanks to my newly found wheat allergy). So I am not starting out the new year on the right foot but I will do better tomorrow and not be frustrated with today or yesterday.

    Wow!! I am sure glad the new year is here, and we can get back into routine. Keep up the great work that everyone is doing. I reached a goal I was trying to accomplish today with my weigh in. Can I say, 'Yeah me?'

    It's now 830 p.m. where I am and I am just eating dinner, and still under my daily calorie goal, but I my dinner is filing. I decided to attend the evening Zumba class then get my hair done. So, I didn't have a choice. (See no excuse, a valid explanation) :smile:

    This is my biggest baddest habit. I am trying to just go to bed right now instead of eating and picking. Any other suggestions? My boys get food out and it is hard to avoid taking a smidge or scoop! LOL
