SAY "NO" TO LATE NIGHT SNACKING -- SEPTEMBER 2016 CHALLENGE

I'm so down for this challenge! Late night snacking is my bane and always leaves me feeling physically and emotionally bad.

Last night I wanted something sweet so I decided to wait 10 minutes and distract myself and see if I still wanted it. I did (of course), so I opted for herbal tea instead. While it didn't exactly crush the craving, it was a sweet "snack" and full of nutrients and no caffeine. It helped me fall asleep faster, too. Ah, the joys of peppermint tea

What do you do when you think about snacking?

I prelog everything that I eat in the morning. I schedule no snacks after 7pm. I usually eat a big dinner then a snack before the cutoff time. Coffee with milk or diet iced tea/soda help throughout the night. If I do have cravings, I try to take my mind off of it by reading, surfing the Web, crossword puzzles, clean. I turn off the kitchen light at night. To me it says, kitchen closed! I'm also lucky to not have others around me snacking.

But really, after do it for so long, it becomes a "no choice" rule. It becomes a habit. With the times that I do snack, I start fresh the next day. I don't beat myself up for it.
