    SAY "NO" TO LATE NIGHT SNACKING -- SEPTEMBER 2017 CHALLENGE

    Posts: 6,574 Member
    edited November 2024 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.

      I'm in as well! I eat a whole bag of crispy minis (Quaker) some nights and feel like I sabotage myself. I'm going to stop buying them and see if that helps!

      Only pre-logged snacks after dinner 5/7 nights per week.

      I hope to limit the evening snacking by being active instead of a TV couch potato. I get a good amount exercise and movement before dinner. After dinner "active" would be doing hobbies that engage me and I don't even think about eating.

      I plan to participate. I've been doing really well -- but only for a couple of weeks. I know I'm still on thin ice with getting out of the habit. No impulse eating (at night or randomly throughout the day) is a big goal of mine.

      I mean, the night's not over but I closed my diary and I'm claiming no LNS on this challenge so no more snacks.
