LNS 1. Ate a hard boiled egg that broke accidentally
I was making lunch for tomorrow
Cooked several eggs
One broke so I ate it at 9.30 pm
Now I realize I just smacked after 7.30
Since the egg was healthy and I hadn't hit my calorie goal maybe it not considered snack!!!!????3 -
Challenge sounds interesting. I'm starting 5/2. Being that I'm a Pastry Chef, I tend to snack on the desserts or breads that I baked. So, my goal for this challenge is to consume no food, shakes or smoothies EXCEPT water after 7PM.4

@conniehealthygirl You fesses up, so don't stress over it. I lost a 63 day streak doing it myself a few months ago.
We all indulge in 'mindless eating, just because...' We eat things because we don't like to waste good food.
*thinks!* Next time: Mash up the egg, with some chopped tomato, and a touch of mayo. It makes a lovely sandwich filling for lunch.
May Goals I am setting my cutoff an hour earlier this month.- Finish eating at 8pm 24/30 nights. 0/24
- Finish eating at 9pm 6/30 nights of my choice. 1/6
- Take one day at a time.

The body burns energy night and day.
I've lost 79 lbs in the past year and reached goal, and I eat three quarters of my calories an hour or less before bed.
The "Don't eat X hours before bed" is a myth.
Best wishes.
@Orphia Your weight loss is commendable, but I take issue with your unhelpful, patronising tone.
The "Don't eat X hours before bed" is a myth. This is merely your opinion, which you are entitled to hold.
However, my opinion is different.- Sleep allows the body to perform many functions vital to life, to recharge the 'batteries', so to speak.
- Eating late at night means the body has insufficient time to digest the food eaten before one goes to sleep.
- This means that the vital restorative functions which occur during sleep can be delayed.
The benefits of this thread.- In the evening, after a hard day, people get tired and for many, will-power weakens, and they find it difficult to resist the lure of food. You are fortunate that you are not one of these people.
- The accountability of this thread has helped many people to change an unhealthy, self-sabotaging habit. I know that because I am one of those people.
- The accountability of posting here has helped me change my unhealthy, regular, Non-Mythical Late Night Snacking habit into a rare conscious choice.
- Since you so obviously don't need such encouragement, one wonders why you felt the need to post here!

I wasn't criticising anyone.
I just wanted to help people who might worry needlessly about the time of day they eat. I think there might be people who would read this thread, and think they need to do it even though they stay within their calorie limit for the day. Those people don't need to worry.
I certainly think it's a good idea to have this challenge thread for people who can't manage to make room for a late night snack in their daily calories.
I wish everyone the very best.7 -

I applaud your desire to help, Orphia. And thank you for your good wishes.
Your weight loss is admirable. You have found the way to achieve your goals.
Each person is different. Some use the impetus of accountability to help them on their way.
People who join this thread set their own parameters, and most report back each day.
I, for one, am grateful for it.
Best wishes for the future. May you live your dreams, and find the gold at the end of the rainbow.5
