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

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!

I'm going to try to be super determined this month. As well as LNS I'm going to be accountable for my unplanned daytime snacks (UDS). These have been my nemesis this month4

I love this Challenge.
I had came home from a dinner party (where I didn't eat a lot), and I wanted to eat the banana-chocolate-chip bread that my husband had just baked.
But I refrained, and just went to bed, because I didn't want to start the December Challenge by snacking.
Let's see how tonight goes.5 -
I'm in. This is my biggest problem.

@cjsacto Let's do this together. Work is really bad for me too. There is always sweets, chocolate, cake etc. On Friday I was so proud of myself because I ignored it all day!!
Today the UDS will be better (and not just because I ate it all yesterday!)3 -

I was trying to plan a smart macros night time snack, but after inputting my food log, I realized I didn't have any calories left.
So I just went to bed.3 -
