For the newbies, here's what it's all about: if you feel like you're self-sabotaging by munching/binging after dinner or like you're doubling your in-calories at night 
, then join us in fighting late night snacking 
!
How this goes:
- each of us decides what late night snacking means to them (could be either binging, if you're inclined to it or simply eating anything at all after a certain time; some may find that having a healthy snack after dinner is perfectly alright and be upset only when they go overboard)
- we post by the formula: Me: X vs. LNS: Y, where X is "how many evenings you stuck to it" and Y "the times late night snacks won"
- additionally, you may want to add a * to the latest number.
- feel free to also post streaks of how many days you've managed to be free of late night snacking
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! 
Welcome!

LNS is hard for me. I truly sabotage myself all the time. I find myself doing well during the day but at night I indulge and over eat snacks!!! I'm going try to this challenge and see if it helps me.7

I've let this slide the last couple of months so I'm back as it helps with my self discipline! Thanks for keeping this challenge going 🤗1 -

This is the same with me. This challenge really helps keep me focused when I'm reaching for the after dinner snacks. Good luck 🍀0 -

I too tend to sabotage myself at night. Start my day with exercise, eat well and track at night; then the voices that I hear talk me into eating. I'm getting a longer stronger to say NO! Kitchen is closed!!
This past week I put the t-shirt I want to fit into this fall for football season on a hanger across my bed. So, when I get ready for bed I have to move it. I then say to myself.... I DO WANT TO wear this!! And that helps more nights than not. I'm trying to figure out what I can put in the kitchen as a"sign" that will signify that I'm done for the night. I have learned that even if I have calories left, eating after dinner does NOT work for me. It is a huge trigger. So having a little larger dinner does the trick, instead.

I really need to join & do this as I am so bad at night for over eating. I end up eating everything I see. I'm so bad some nights that I end up going out late & buying a big bag of cheesy puffs, that and/or a big bag of salted peanuts!
I lost 12 lbs nearly 2 mths ago now, then sabotaged myself by chowing down on late night snacks & gained back 10 lbs of the weight. I'm so peeved at myself for messing up so bad
So I'd love to join the "No More Late Night Snacking -> June 2019"2 -

I've seen quite a few people who go to bed early. That doesn't work for me though. I try to evaluate whether or not I am hungry enough to eat an apple. If I am not, then I decide it is not hunger, but some other need driving me to the kitchen and I try to distract myself with something else.

I've noticed that eating just a little more at dinner, then drinking hot tea helps keep me full. Then I put my night time routine into play... Wash face, brush hair, brush teeth. And I have chewing gum on my bed stand and take water to bed.1 -

I try to drink water, sometimes 0-calorie flavored water like the sparkling ice brand, and sometimes I have a sugar-free hard candy. It's a struggle, and when I'm tired, I find it's more of a struggle.2 -

I found a wonderful tea - Bengal Spice. I make a tall hot cup of tea and sip on it after dinner. That helps give me that full feeling. And the tea bag is good for one more cup and I take it to bed. I also have chewing gum on my nightstand to have something to reach for when I "feel" the urge or those voices from the kitchen call out. AND watching netflix vs. regular TV at night helps. There are NO commercials!!
