    You're fine, because you had a fresh slate the next day! You're aware of it, which is the first step.

    I posted this last night on the belief that I was under control. I lost control later. I probably ate 1,000 extra calories in dried fruit and raw nuts and nut butters. :frowning:

    Thank you for the welcome and truths... I broke awareness last night, I forgot about the challenge.

    Hello everyone! B)
    Well, I did it - gained 4 lb since Sat morning. Do you think all of the binge eating, stress eating & emotional eating caught up with me??

    So my stats are not good at all - they are sooooo very ugly :s

    Challenge Goal = 23/27 (started 9/4)
    Streak Goal = 10
    Today 15 days left

    ME = 5
    LNS = 7*
    Streak = 0

    Pretty obvious I am not going to make my goal.
    So I am going to set a new one for the next 15 days:
    15/15!
    I must do this!!

    Onward and downward we go o:)

    No worries. I think we've all "been there done that." The great thing about it is that you made yourself accountable by telling us. I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day for you.

    Tomorrow will be better! Are you an emotional eater? I only ask because I am, and I had a bad evening at church. I just finished eating a heath candy bar. I asked my husband bring it home with him, and he tried to talk me out of emotional eating blesses heart. I just couldn't help myself. I guess I should say I couldn't control myself.

    I thought I would never do this. I was wrong. All it takes is one decision. Who is in charge of my life?

    Get up. Dust off. And get back on! You can make that the exception, where (if you're like me) it used to be the rule!

    Fifteen days…today plus two weeks. Don't let anything be more important than showing your impulses who is boss! Shoot, reward yourself - after that 15 days - with an intentional Late Night Snack day. Be intentional (not impulse) with it and it's still a win, in my never-to-be-humble opinion.

    Everyone, we're redefining "normal" for our minds and emotions. The latter is probably where this war is fought for everyone in this group. We can all do math, so it's more than figuring out how many calories we can consume. It's not letting our emotions and impulses decide our future by ruling out present!

    I'm so proud of/for everyone in this group - new or long-term!

    I actually did snack late last night but it was planned (a wine and appies night with girlfriends) so for me, that's fine.

    It's great to see I am not alone in the late night snacking area. I have felt like such a failure, had no self discipline and was just a loser! But seeing all your posts, I am inspired to get back on that horse and try again! Thanks!!!

    Night two of out of control LNS. This time though it was way worse. I bought a ton of junk food that I've only had once or twice in the last nine and a half months. Cookies, cake, ice cream, bread, potato chips, and fried chicken. I stuffed myself until I felt sick, and still feel sick this morning. Not worth it. Totally a reminder that the choices and changes I've made are keeping me from a downward spiral that would lead me right back to where I used to be. Back to better choices!!!

    GA Everyone and great to be back! Thanks for setting up the challenge :)
    My goals are to continue not eating after 8 pm and to continue the no yo/yo effect!

    I held to my goals while on vacation in Israel and my final numbers for August were: ME: 31 LNS: 0 Streak: 43 AND I hit another goal and lost 5 lbs! Not hard in an environment where there is good fresh food and plenty of walking up and down hills, mountains and caves! So my goal is to continue being and doing fit stuff instead of eating empty calories!

    September 1: ME: 1* LNS: 0 Streak: 44
    There is no place like home! Let's go and remember the goal is to be the best you can be! Good luck everyone! o:)

    ME: 2* LNS: 0 Streak: 45 o:)

    ME:4* LNS:0 Streak: 47 o:)
    Happy Labor Day!

    ME 6 LNS 1* Streak:0
    o:)

    ME: 11* LNS:1 Streak: 5
    Back on track o:)

    ME: 16* LNS:1 Streak: 10 Sticking to the no yo-yo plan again!

    Everyone is doing reall great! Whether you have a streak or not, just the fact you are showing up and trying counts. Before you can defeat a problem, you have to recognize it, admit it and get the strength to fight it! So, good show everyone! o:)

    I am already doing Steptember, so doing 10k every day for 28days. I still wanted to share some of my hints. 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!
