No more Late Night Snacking - Feb 2013

I thought I posted on this thread last night....losing my mind.
Anyway, I have a problem with late night snacking...but mine is more like middle of the night. I stay up until my husband goes to work @ 1 am and I eat and watch Netflix...until 3 or 4 am.
I am logging it all and so I start each day with a 300 to 500 calorie deficit.
I need to stop.0 -
For Feb. so far. I will do better.:embarassed: :ohwell:

Yesterday went well. LNS 0, Me 1.
What helps --
Structure a substantial evening snack into my food plan -- eat it around the time the munchies usually start prowling.
Or, have an afternoon snack and then a later dinner. If I eat dinner at 7pm instead of 5, I don't graze later.
By "snack" I'm not talking about 6 almonds or a piece of celery spread with a teaspoon of peanut butter. I'm talking about real food -- oatmeal with fruit, or a meat sandwich and an apple (the sandwich made with low-cal bread and thin-sliced packaged meat that's something like 25 calories a slice.) Since I've stopped eating wheat, the sandwich isn't an option for me anymore, but it may still be for other people.
I hope I can help someone. This is what's helping me.0 -

Did better last night. Still ate 300 cal after midnight, but that is way better than the previous few nights. Still, I have to log it as

Hello, everyone! What a nice bunch of people here!
. Glad to see we got reinforcement through some newcomers - welcome to everyone :flowerforyou:!
I was thinking of you (as a challenge team), in spite of my absence. I allowed myself to be a bit flexible with the cut-off time again, as long as dinner was the last thing and no more snacking followed. All in all, I've been quite good and only failed two nights:

Thank you so much for keeping this going
. For me no LNS is the best weigh-loss/weight-maintenance tool. Maybe in time I'll start a "no more useless snacking during office hours" challenge and then all problems will be solved :laugh:.
Keep up the good work, everyone, :flowerforyou: and remember that quitting is the only failure!
I will hopefully be also able to post in more consistently from now on. 0 -

My goal is to stay at or under 175 cal. after midnight - that's my problem time. Last night I discovered something that was 160 cals but not so healthy, so I added a green veggie which I figured had no calories, but in fact it was 42 cals which put me over my goal. I am not going to let LNS get that point. I am calling it for ME !For Feb. so far. I will do better.:embarassed: :ohwell:

I have now put my chips, etc., into a box high in my bedroom closet. I don't plan on bringing them out until Oscar night. I need BETTER control because I'm struggling everyday with this. Which is lame. The non-struggle (i.e. out of sight, out of mind) is WAY easier, for me!0 -

Had a great supper out with hubby last night. We shared appy's and then had a main course. The owner brought us 2 desserts (on him) and I didn't even TASTE either one! Hubby ate both.
I'm super-impressed with my DISCIPLINE!0 -
