in Motivation and Support
Do you find yourself searching for something to snack on after dinner? Do you make healthy choices all day and right before bed you decide to go ahead and have a spoon or two of ice cream, a cookie, chips, etc.?

For some odd reason, this happens almost every night and you want it to STOP.

If this sounds like you, join us so we can support one another to beat late night snacking!

Take either dinner or a cut-off time to be the last time you eat for the day, after that time, you may have tea and water only.

Tally your progress daily for a monthly total.

For Example:
Me: 22 ~ LNS: 9

You may join at ANYTIME. You don’t have to be successful every day; you just have to do your best. We’re not perfect and we all have non-successful days but
the goal is to NOT GIVE UP!

    We do a grand total for the month. For example, by the end of June, I had successfully not eaten past my cut off/or made wise choices in my evening snack 18 times (ME -18) and 11 times I made either poor choices or ate past the time I had set for myself (LNS - 11).

    So today, you set a time or goal for yourself. For me, it will be not to eat anything past 9 p.m. (some nights it will be 7:30, depending on family). So, if I am successful, tomorrow morning I will post a new reply

    ME - 1
    LNS - 0

    And then post a new reply for each day, changing the numbers.

    Whatever you do, don't give up. Sometimes just being aware of it is a step in the right direction. Some months, for me, if I get one day out of a week successful, I know I'm at least accomplishing something.

    WELCOME

    My success was a cheat since I took a nap at 4 p.m. in the afternoon and didn't wake up until work this morning at 3. But I'll take it.

    me 2 - LNS 0

    I consider last night a success even though I ate late out a restaurant. I passed by the bread and had a glass of wine instead. I skipped the huge pieces of cake being passed around the table and instaed went for a walk around the neighborhood and split a single serving of ice cream with hubby. I'm learning balance rather than restriction.

    How is everyone else doing?

    Joining July 4. I'm having trouble with late night snacking after I close my diary (I enter and have an evening snack every night).

    Goal is to not eat/drink anything other than water after I log my official evening snack and close out my diary. So far so good.

    Me- 1
    LNS- 0
