No more late night snacking August 2012

Still on a roll. No LNS since last Sunday. So I think the score is

Me 19
LNS 3

It feels pretty natural now, yay. Have I cracked it for life?? I hope so:smooched:

I have just finished a row of 3 nights. I eat at 7pm before work, then not till about 5am or so for a banana, then porridge about 6am, then toast before sleep at half 9. At the moment I have a repairman in the house and desperately need to get to sleep. I'm day dreaming o f my lunch

This is gonna sound *crazy*, but here goes: I decided to celebrate my reduction of LNS last night by.....late-night snacking, lol.

Mind you, it was homemade air popcorn (yes, with butter and salt!), so wasn't the WORST of the WORST.

Me: 20
LNS: 2

I'm going to try and finish off August with only points going to "Me".....because there's no TOM in sight, this should be quite do-able!

:happy:

Me-21*
LNS-1
:flowerforyou:

I've been absent but ACCOUNTABLE to *NO* Late Night Snacking...I *really* believe my brain is FINALLY saying *NO MORE LNS* after 8pm. Anything I may be craving in terms of snacks I get in earlier in the day so I could work it off. I've been trying to stay away from SUGAR...and thought a drink I ordered was fresh Mango and Strawberry...NOPE...it was artificial...and I paid for it by being SOO SLUGGISH this morning, and having a headache SHEESH. Anyway....I am PROUD of everyone who are finding it easier to NOT LNS because of accountability.

**WayaLuna** You are the GRREATEST CHEERLEADER here for us...THANK YOU!!
**Kate** I believe you *have* cracked the old *NO* LNS...and you just continue to stay FOCUSED and EMPOWERED!!
**Beeps** LoL...when you LNS'd to CELEBRATE being soo good NOT LNS'ing I had to laugh! Thanks for your levity and NEW DETERMINTION (big smile)...
**Gmukris** You have been here long enough to KNOW who has been **kicking butt** with regard to LNS'ing...YES we CAN and WILL finish August strong...:drinker:
**Trusty** Grrreat Job...eating less junk says a LOT of your accountability here..>WTG :flowerforyou:
**Dewdrop** You are IINCREDIBLE in that you chose this month to stay accountabile, and you have stumbled...accounted...and back on the road to training the brain to NOT LNS! My hat is off to you!! We will be STRONG in SEPT for sure :bigsmile: :drinker:

For those I had not commented...I want to pay you the highest compliment of being here and *trying*...cause that *try* will sooon lead to your VICTORY...

Hugs and Smiles...Everyone

I definitely need to join in here. Why do I like to go to bed feeling stuffed?

WELCOME Bonny... I don't think we like to go to bed feeling stuffed...it certainly is not healthy and does lead to weight gain cause our body is soo busy trying to digest...but cannot so easily. Our bodies tend to other parts of our body's organ's..and our digestive system just sits. Just *try* not to eat two hours before bed. Drink tea, water, brush your teeth...be accountable here A few nights of NO LNS...and it can turn into a Grrreat Habit :happy: Good Luck!!!

Deb:flowerforyou: :drinker:

I work 3rd shift and exercise after I get home in the morning. But after I get home and eat something healthy, then I want to snack on junk food.

Me: 20*
LNS: 3

Finally finishing a month strong! I will continue for the next week and hope to see 28 to 3!!!

Bombed again....but, my snack was to get my calories to where they needed to be (I significantly underate yesterday - time crunched!).

Me: 20
LNS: 3

Me: 21*
LNS: 3

I felt pretty hungry last night after my girls went to bed, but I just remembered this thread and the craving actually subsided! I guess I wasn't actually hungry!!

Are you ruining the efforts you've made during the day to eat clean and exercise by munching late? Are you turning dinner into the most important meal and snacking all the time until you hit the pillow :embarassed: ? Tired of it :grumble: ? Then join us .

We usually set a cut-off time for accountability. You may, but don't have to go cold turkey on food. Feel free to say "no more junk food past 7 p.m.".

Reporting is in the format:
Me: "times you won against snacks" - LNS: "points you lost"
For instance, if you did well until August 5, but then binged before bedtime, then the next morning the score is
Me: 4 - LNS: 1


Good luck, everyone! :flowerforyou:

I soooo blew it last night. Broke my rule of thumb. Kitchen closes three hours before bed.

Ok, starting tonight...crossing my fingers I make it. I'm physically full and I don't want any food at the moment. It's 9pm.

Me: 0
LNS: 0
