    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.

    Oh I am so thrilled to have a fresh start! :) And I'm eager to have more than 22 days ME!

    *mentally I am putting ME in caps to give me the power and "lns" in lowercase to take it's power away. May seem silly, but whatever I can do to give me the strength.

    Lights out soon so should make it!! In control!

    My stone goes into my ME jar in the morning. I almost slipped up. I distracted myself in the bathroom by brushing my hair, washing my face, exfoliating, and night cream. Then put my stone in the cup a second time to reiterate that the kitchen was closed. And am here on MFP to.stay on track.

    DARN IT!! I totally caved. I was too tired, I should've just gone to bed. No self-talk in me last night. :( Hate when that happens.

    Hi, newbie here. :)

    LNS has been a real weakness for me. I actually sleep better with food in my belly, although science dictates that I shouldn't.

    I recently decided to have my dinner no earlier than 6 pm to help me avoid LNS. So far, it's working. Two days gone, the rest of my life to go. LOL

    I didn't snack last night... but:

    I over-ate at dinner. I went out for dinner and, despite promising myself I would order the salad, I ordered the chicken parmi. I didn't eat most of the crumb or too many chips, but I'm sure I consumed at least 500 calories.

    So, I was still too full for LNS.

    Still.. a success?? o:)

    Birthday party for mom last night, home late. Off schedule. :( Time to get refocused and serious. The good news is....1) my binges are slowly getting smaller and 2) it's a little easier for me to get back on track versus just throwing in the towel. Phew!! Truly trying to make a lifestyle change.

    Darn it!

    I didn't eat enough dinner. Maybe I was trying to make up for the schnitzel the previous night?
    Still, I was legitimately hungry late last night (not just snacky) but eating more was not planned and put me over the calorie limit for the day so I'm still counting it as a LNS win.

    I have planned my food better today and resolved to keep moving forward. One step back does not mean I'm back to the beginning. I can do this (WE can do this)!
