    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!

    ME: 7
    lns*: 2
    Streak: 4

    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.

    ME: 7
    lns: 3

    Longest streak: 4

    ME: 7
    lns: 4

    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.

    ME: 7

    Th. 13th
    ME: 7
    lns: 6

    Fri. 14th
    ME: 8
    lns: 6

    It's been a long week. I will not let "lns" triumph over ME!!

    ME: 9
    lns: 6
    Streak 2.

    ME: 10
    lns: 6
    Streak 3.

    Feels so good to be back in control. Lights out! GN

    I went massively off the wagon as far as counting calories and exercise over the weekend (wedding to attend, blah blah) but I did manage to not snack in the middle of the night!

    Thanks again for this challenge and all the posts!
    Lns is one of my biggest problems and this challenge is helping so much. Again, I was able to talk myself out of having a lns and it was actually easier last night than a couple of nights ago. That voice in my head that suggests I can have just a little snack, seems to be getting weaker. I hope that continues!
