July 2010 - No more snacking after dinner

Me 8 / The Little Creeps 5

You're on a roll for sure ZaZa. We all know once you get started - look out! :flowerforyou:

Ok, I made it thru 3 nights. I did have 2 brownies, but before cut-off time (1 was actually before dinner).
Last night was really a challenge because I got hungry watching TV and I hate to go to bed hungry. However, I just kept telling myself how disappointed I'd be to report here this morning that I blew it after only 2 nights so....thank you thank you for this challenge. The scale keeps creeping downwards in fractions of a pound, but I'll take it. I know this challenge works.

This is my biggest problem by far! I'm in. I'll report back tomorrow. I shall slay the late night snacking beast!

I had to work late last night and got home around 7 so ate dinner late. This helped. Tonight will be more challenging as I'm leaving early and more opportunity for mindless snacking. Plan will be to drink water and tea in the afternoon and a small snack to push off dinner until later.

Woman 1/ Food 0!

Hi Dew, good to see you! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: We missed you and are glad to have you back with us. That's one of the things I like about MFP, everyday you get to start over. Yeah we'll keep our fingers crossed and our toes.

Kvoelz - like the "Dragon" imagery :flowerforyou:

Lula - you're doing great! WTG :drinker:

Me 9 vs Them 6 ........ came home late, ate and went straight to bed. Ate more than I needed.

Way to go Zaza, and with brownies in the house to boot! I think you should count yourself for 2 days for that. :laugh: (I tend to play a little fast and loose with the snackin rules - probably the only thing in life). Well you know what, maybe if I was better controlled with food then other areas of my life would be better controlled also. Just thinking about where self control comes from and it's apparently pervasive presence in all areas of our lives. I'm glad for the growth I've seen this year so far in the area of self-control both with food and other daily disciplines but at the same time it would be nice to be farther along. There's always room for improvement ya know. Thoughts anyone?


Hope everyone is doing well. If not, it's not too late because today is a NEW day and it all starts over again. :drinker:

Me 9 vs Snacks 5

I agree with you Rosemary both about self-control AND about starting over. We can strive to be better and do better, but we can't beat ourselves up too much about our shortcomings. I don't think it would be productive to dwell on the negative - we can only keep trying to do better. Easier said than done and that's why we help each other out here. Thanks to you rosemary and all you other wonderfully supportive ladies for your encouragement!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I beat the Little Thieving Snacks last night so it's:


Me 10 vs LTSs 6

Way to go Dew - you are In :flowerforyou:

Nice work with the snacks Diet45. That must be some sort of a record; no snacks after dinner for June and July. Sounds like that is not a weak spot for you. Very admirable though, :flowerforyou: I haven't heard of anyone getting a stomach upset with almonds before. One possible reason may be that you are sensitive to high fat items if you get digestive issues with a high fat diet. Another reason may be that you're allergic to nuts in some way. Or the package may be bad. Do other nuts do this to you also or when you have a high fat item like say french-fries, does it happen again? If high fat items give you problems try to pick up extra calories with high carb items instread - like say whole grain crackers with low-fat cheese, or extra fruits. Blessings today for you :drinker: .
