NO MORE LATE NIGHT SNACKING -- OCTOBER 2019 CHALLENGE

For the newbies, here's what it's all about: if you feel like you're self-sabotaging by munching/bingeing 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 bingeing, 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!

    @lamlam2013, thank you so much! I told myself that I will let myself ask for permission to initiate this again only when I know I can do it. That is, I need to score well for a whole month before asking! :blush:

    8 p.m. for me. Really hard, given the schedule. Much needed. Let's see how it goes.

    Good luck everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Good morning! I really need this to do this as I really struggle with LNS, which kicked my tail last night. I know I'm a little late, but I shall start as of tonight.

    I fell totally off the rails in September. I was laying in bed last night and thought "I've got to find that LNS group again!!!"

    Hi! This sounds great!

    3 days down! Really happy πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ
    Me: 3 πŸ„β€β™€οΈ - LNS: 0
    πŸ§—β€β™€οΈ and climbing πŸ™‚

    And no, I am not being absurd: if I finish dinner at 8:20, but do not open the cupboard for "desert" or later on pinch something from the counter, then I won! This feels good, it really does. And I am writing late at night, feeling hungry and happily thinking that I will not feel guilty if I start my day with breakfast tomorrow πŸ™‚
