    October Late Night Snacking Goals Update:
    • Eat nothing after 8:30pm 27/31 nights. 11/27
    • Eat nothing after 10:30pm 4/31 nights of my choice. 1/4

    LNS: 0
    Streak: 300

    A streak of 300 is a huge milestone for me. I'm not doing everything right, but seeing persistent wins in this category is so encouraging! I don't think I'd gone a week - in my life - without LNS before this challenge.

    When I happened across this challenge in early July (?) last year, LNS was daily life for me. I now realize it had long been a trigger for me. I'd intentionally "save some calories" for evening (when the rest of the house had gone to bed), then mindlessly graze through whatever was in the pantry! Then I'd beat myself up for it. (Guess how I'd "console" myself.) A night or two later - oblivious to the cycle - I'd replay the scenario.

    I knew this was insanity, but thought I was the only one with this particular "screw loose." When I found this challenge and community, I recognized the cycle and saw I wasn't so unique.

    I set my goals with room for life, but still requiring restraint. A few evenings a month, I allow for getting home late or a special event necessitating a late meal. I plan those and try to avoid leaving my eating to impulse. I think this has been the biggest change for me.

    Hope that benefits someone else in our community.

    I <3 this! Between @WalkerPop and his encouraging words and @lamlam2013 putting up this challenge every month plus all the others who check in all the time, I am keeping my LNSnacking very much under control and it has helped so much. I am now mindful of the time and what I eat in the evenings so once I close my diary, I'm done for the day. It was hard at first but now it has become such a habit, I don't even miss the snacking anymore.

    Thanks so much for everyone being on here. Not sure I could have done it without all of you! And congratulations to @WalkerPop on over 300 days of success!

    Here are my October Late Night Snacking Goals:
    • Eat nothing after 8:30pm 27/31 nights.
    • Eat nothing after 10:30pm 4/31 nights of my choice.
    • Choose to adult, instead of impulse today.

    I like this goal and I'll do the same. I like this idea for a group. Starting tonight (before I found this thread):

    This is the exact type of challenge I need. I feel like I give 110% all day (workout at 4am, eat and log perfectly through dinner), but after dinner go crazy with the munching. I am hopeful that this challenge will help me get this frustrating struggle under control so my hard work can finally pay off. Thanks for this challenge!
