in Challenges
Tired of self-sabotaging by munching after dinner? Upset that you double your in-calories at night? Then it's not just me . To get some help (or inspire us by your good example), please join us in this challenge.

You set what you feel is late night snacking. For example, if you have extra calories left for the day, you can have a snack if it's small. Others decide not to eat at a past a certain time. It's up to you.

We go by the formula:
Me: "number indicating how many evenings you stuck to it"
LNS: "number of times late night snacks won"

Example: Me: 2 - LNS: 0 indicates I won the first two nights.

Some people also add a * to the latest number. In the example, that would be
Me: 2 - LNS: 1*
if LNS won the 3rd night.

It's as simple as that. Or as complicated, as you will discover. Nevertheless, the persistence and good results of some of our "old" members (and some people keep coming back) show that the battle is worthwhile .

You will notice some people post streaks of how many days they are free of late night snacking. This is definitely not a requirement, but if you want to do it for motivation, it works well.

Welcome!

    Guys, how do you fight those binges and urges? I don't have problems with over-eating nor snacking throughout the day, I eat BIG dinner around 6:30pm, then soneting else at 7:45pm to be sure that I'm not hungry later, but starting from 11:30 I'm gone - I wanna eat, eat, eat. Otherwise I can't even fall asleep till very late.

    Right now - in bed, trying to be strong and not to visit my fridge :-)

    I read through November's challange and didn't find tips on fighting those binges. Tips from internet (eat breakfast, count calories, etc) don't work either. Do you have good tips?

    I start myself :-) Years ago I tried this and lost ca 16kg - just willpower first couple of weeks which then became habit. Now I don't find the willpower for the first weeks :-(

    This is my major weakness. I tell myself I'm not hungry, but every time I pass through the kitchen I nibble. Count me in.
    ME: 0 LNS: 1
    I will do better today!
