NO LATE NIGHT SNACKING - AUGUST, 2021 CHALLENGE

in Challenges
(borrowed from July, 2021 challenge board):

If you haven't seen this challenge before, let me brief you about it:

What you have to do to change the way you feel about your eating at night:

- decide what late night snacking means to you (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)

- report in the thread. 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". You may want to also add a * to the latest number. Feel free to also post streaks of how many days (in a row) 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!

    The back half of July was mentally just difficult. A combination of burn out and a lack of structure had me fall of a cliff. But I'm finally somewhat back together to get back on this.

    Also, I have motivation - I'm scheduled to go to Las Vegas in late September for a week! :open_mouth: So I want to not look awful!

    I made homemade salsa tonight and had one spoonful to taste test it, but I’m not counting that. It was a necessity, not mindless snacking.

    Thank you so much for posting August @Beeps2011! I ended July so badly and I feared the worst if I didn’t somehow get back on track!

    @feliciaboots That’s so exciting you are getting to go away for a week! Since Covid, I’ve only visited my two daughters! So ready for it all to be over! I’m sure you’ll look great!

    I can do this, I can do this, I can do this....

    @clutterqueen Thank you! Super excited - here we're up at 80% with the first dose and 72% for the second and we're finally starting to have masks optional in some places. So looking forward to all of it! Now as long as the border opens and I can get across....

    The struggle is so real. I have no idea why I even break down sometimes. Not like I have great food I am snacking on.

    Doubling down now. I have 4 total in August, I am going to match that this week. Going for 4 straight starting today.
