in Motivation and Support
The challenge continues! (to challenge us). If you're mad about snacking late at night, in particular on chips, popcorn and M&Ms, join us in the struggle to defeat this habit and change it to: "No more late night snacking!" Take either dinner or a cut-off time to be the last time you eat for the day, after which tea and water only drinker. Then stick to it! and most importantly, stick to us, so that you get over slip-offs. Be certain that you can do it!

Here's to July and us fighting this together.

This will be a monthly thread so join at ANY time, with each of individually tallying at the end of the month. Don't give up. One night of non-success does not scrap you for the week or the month. Make a goal, and if you overcoming one extra night a month of success, then you are a winner!

    Last night was difficult - was at work of course. Dayshift gave me a homemade cinnamon bun so I broke my rule of "eating only the good food I bring before eating other food/ snacks".

    Me 0 / Snacks 1

    The snacks are ahead :noway: - I need to bump it up!

    Rosemary - Looks like we are slim pickins this month. Maybe people are waiting until after July 4. Thanks for sticking with me as Dew has so much going on this summer she won't be able to join us for at least this month.

    Hi, I am new to this site but not the battle of weight loss. I can do great all day and then destroy it with late night snacking. I hope to cut off at 8:30PM. Thanks for the challenge:smile:

    This is a great challenge for me - after dinner is my favorite time to eat. I think a realistic goal for me would be to not eat after dinner 5 nights/week.

    I stopped eating snacks after dinner. I started on June 1st and haven't had anything. I actually think it became a huge habit. I also use to snack in the afternoon on unhealthy foods. I now have healthier or low-cal choices instead of candy and chips.

    Hi-
    After yet another hiatus from mfp and this thread, I am back to try again. If I can just stick w/this, I know I will see results. Eliminating late night snacking is also such a healthier way of life. So, I am in. Tonight will be my Day 1.
    My cut-off is 9:30 p.m., except for evenings out - then I can go as late as 11:30 p.m.
    Good luck to you all.

    Don't worry Rosemary. I think having a holiday right at the beginning of the month messed a lot of us up. But you can succeed and overpower those silly SNACKS!
