I'm in!! Like so many others have said - this is my biggest challenge with food. I watch tv for the last hour or two before bed and that's when it happens, I hate my self the next morning.
So today will be my first day.0 -
Jeff, I, too, have had trouble with late night snacking. Here's a thought:
1- have a realistic cut- off time after dinner (I try to have 2 hours before bedtime)
2- allow yourself a small "treat" right before your cut-off time.
3 -Then leave the kitchen area permanently! Spend time flossing and brushing your teeth, maybe even use white strips, so you will be less likely to return to the kitchen after all that effort.
4 - Your reward: watch TV, read a book, surf the web, play cards or whatever it is that's fun/pleasant that keeps you out of the kitchen! Believe it or not, I think about having to post on this thread and I dread having to report a win to LNS so I stay out of the kitchen!
Best of luck. Just keep trying. Hopefully, more often than not, you will beat LNS and that always feels great.

Great Idea!
my rules:
I am EST
Time would be anything after 7:30 pm (I have dinner just before that time)
Snacks do not include some veggies like slices of fresh pepper or some (3 or 4) baby carrots
Beverages OK would be 0 cal seltzer or water with lemon.
Anything else will be off limits.

For June:
Me: 3 - three day streak
LNS:1 (Monday)
For me, I'm saying no eating after dinner ::unless:: I'm out and deliberately decide to get something as a treat that is still within my calorie limits (i.e., froyo at 8 pm - as a basic 20something lady I get froyo with friends pretty often, can fit it into my plan and it's part of my social life), OR it's fruit or plain vegetables and I am stomach-growlingly hungry.
Mindless eating at night is one of my biggest downfalls, and definitely the way I get most disappointed in myself. This is a great idea.0 -
