SAY "NO" TO LATE NIGHT SNACKING -- SEPT 2018 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 in. Was doing really well but started the self sabotage again about 6 weeks ago and have been almost doubling my calorie intake most evenings in the last couple of weeks. Need to stop or I'll need a new wardrobe again only bigger this time.5

I'll try again this month!1

Was out most of this evening which helped but would normally snack now with my cup of tea before bed but not tonight1 -
This is my 14th month in this challenge. It has really helped me. When I started, I was eating late almost every night. Last month I had 4 LNS events, and this month I'm going to reduce that number. Good luck to all!7

LNS totally destroys my well-planned out day.

Back in for another month - loving how this accountability really has helped me create much more mindfulness regarding LNS.
For today:

LNS: 0

I really wanted a LNS tonight, especially since I did not enjoy my boring salad for dinner.
But my pre-planned snack (my truly yummy chocolate protein/oat bran pudding) hit the spot.
I mean the chips and ice cream are still calling me name, but I'm holding them off.
Going to bed now.

I did really well last night even though we had a fire with Smores. I kept to my plan of only 1 hot dog and smores to keep it in my calorie goals.3 -

Was sick yesterday so last 2 evenings have been easy. It all helps with breaking the habit though.0 -
I'm so bad in the evenings, I snack so much I feel sick, so I can't sleep, and then I lie in bed vowing to change every night! I'm going to do this challenge for the rest of September and hold myself accountable! It could save my health, my self esteem and a fortune!9
