    Keep up the great work everyone! Week-ends are hard but we have to try. Beating LNS feels great the morning after!

    Caro123 you are my hero right now! Lol. Late night snacks got me again last night but not NEARLY as bad as usual. 1 piece of raisin bread and half a cup of cheesecake. Before I used to trash the hole kitchen. So since I'm a Buddhist I'm declaring it a tie. Gotta count each lil progress! Lol!
    Me: 1.5
    LNS: 5.5

    Welcome Lili!
    LNS stands for the dreaded, to-be-avoided-at-all costs Late Night Snacks.
    Me stands for the nights that I beat LNS in this challenge.
    For me, for now - it's a tie. But, this challenge helps keep me accountable and under control. So, I expect to leave LNS in the dust!

    I just saw this thread, this is my problem too. So I'll start challenge now on jan 19th, I screwed up last night and came here looking for support. I hate hate hate getting hunger pangs at 10 pm. I'm an artist and I'm usually up late, and I'll do good all day and about an hour after I eat a big dinner, I'm hungry, again! It's hard to sleep once that first pang hits. And then I try to make it through and do good until about midnight when I can't sleep because I'm so hungry. I eat 1900 cal a day and still starving at night. I hate it! I feel like the only way I won't snack is if I take a Benedryl after I eat and go to sleep at 730 as soon as dinner is done. Any ideas on dealing with the stomach growling? That *kitten* is so uncomfortable, I feel weak not being able to fight this

    Wow! Well done everyone! I wish I could do this but my working day can span from 7:30am to 12:30am with my shifts being from 3-10 hours so having a cut off point for food would be so incredibly difficult (today I had my dinner at midnight) but I wish everyone luck. And if anyone has any pointers for someone with a worklife like mine then I am all too happy to hear them :)

    I am using an eating plan that implements daily cleansing, and the cut off they use is 2 hours before going to bed! Maybe try that? My husband also works nights and that has been a good rule of thumb for him. Good luck!

    I'm trying again tonight. But I'm starting off by aiming for 2 nights this week of no late night snacking and then going from there. I also got good tips like if I do snack to choose healthy foods such as fresh veggies and things like that. I think it takes time. So I shoot for 2 nights this week and when I make it with that I go to three!

    I have fallen off the wagon again and started evening unplanned snacking again! I feel so down but I have today planned and I intend to start afresh this evening! I felt so good when I was focused and stuck to it for 7 days which was a lifetime achievement for me! So I will remember this fact if I get tempted!

    Remember the saying
    Bad habits are like a very comfortable bed, easy to slip back into and difficult to get of!

    Also remember: good habits have to be carried out at least 20 times to become established!!!
