I'm changing my method-- I will still only be consuming air-popped popcorn after dinner, but I'm not going to put a time limit to it.

September Weekly Goals:
I think I'm going to raise the bar slightly.- Daily water goal: Full gallon (128 oz) at least 5 of 7 days per week. …
- Daily sleep goal: Seven hours at least 5 of 7 days per week. …
- Late Night Snacking: Eat nothing after 9 p.m. 6 of 7 days per week. …
I realize the first two goals are off-topic. (I hope you'll indulge me.) You friends have become secondary accountability partners, so I'm just puttin' it out there. These are my Achilles heals, as it were. Coffee, tea, and Dt Coke are diuretics and contain caffeine. Both aspects make them counterproductive for me. (The more I drink the less hydrated I am, but the more muchies - LNS - I succumb to.) I've replaced them with water, only having an occasional coffee. Concerning the sleep goal, besides being healthier, the earlier I go to bed the less LNS I give in to.0 -

@walkerPop sounds like a great plan, as we all are learning, we need to find out what works for us, not always copy what works for others, because sometimes it may not be the best for us. Good luck, I'm looking forward to following your great progress for another month! Cheers, Marian0 -
Thanx, @Mariang165 !0

After dinner just before cravings hit or right on time I drink a green tea or matcha tea. If I still have cravings afterwards I check the time and wait for at least 20-30min. If I still have cravings I weight out a small snack to log it, like nuts or dark chocolate and the I fully enjoy it one by one! Good luck everybody!
I love these hints thanks so much!!!!!

LNS and I go waaay back. In fact, I think that's pretty much how I got all the extra pounds. We should break up. For EVER. Keep track of who's running things sounds like a good idea. Thanks!0 -

This is such a great thread. It's always so reassuring to know that you're not alone!
I can't set a specific time to stop eating, because I tend to eat dinner late (it varies from night to night), but for me it needs to be nothing after dinner unless it's fruit or vegetables. I tend to crave sweets after dinner, so need to keep those at bay!
