I've got to stop snacking at night - I'm not even hungry! But I see my husband snacking and it makes me want to snack, too. In front of the TV even!

I've broken the habit once, I can do it again!

    I'm with you on that one! I snack at night ALL the time! Even when I say no eating after 7, I completely break down. The food journal helps me a lot, but not completely. It takes 30 days to break a habit and I am so willing! :happy:

    And yes, you're so right we can do this. :)

    Sometimes I think it is like obsessive compulsive disorder this constant snacking need.

    It is a stress relieve though for most especially after working all day.

    Have you tried crudites ... the elegant french name for raw vegetables? Celery, string beans, etc. high in fiber and really help control the blood sugar. Watch out for carrots though too much sugar for some people.

    I have started freezing protein bars like "Think Thin". I cut them up first and put them in the freezer that way they take longer to chew and are very satisfying. Also meditating really has helped me to calm the mind.

    Good luck.

    I want to join. But what constitutes late night snacking? What is your cut off times? And how do you determine it?

    Personally, I want to cut off eating after 8pm (ok maybe 9pm) and make sure that my last meal of the day doesn't have carbs. :smile:

    Do you think we all should check in on a specific day in the week to see how we're all holding up to the challenge?

    Saturdays?

    What do you think?

    I am too a night time snacker. It used to be ice cream at 3 am but I'm managed to curb that and drink a big glass of water. I notice when Im bored at night I eat bad things when I'm actually thirsty. :)

    Good for you! I think I'm going to start keeping track of late night snacking free days, too. I hate to break a good run!

    We all have different schedules, so it's best that we set our own times, and maybe make them public. These are my times:

    1. No snacking after dinner or
    2. If I have a late night (midnight) (I'm a teacher, sometimes work takes me longer than I think) no snacking 2-3 hours before I think I'm going to bed.

    For a check in day, is Saturday good for most? For me, Monday nights is best because I have better access to the Internet, but I will find a way!

    Saturday is a great time for me to check in. I say for myself no snacking after 8P.M. as I usally go to bed around 10:00 or 11:00. I think this will really help with my weight loss. I usally find my self in the kitchen looking for a snack at night around 8:30 to 9:30 so maybe I won't be snacking at all in the evenings.:drinker: LOL. I know I must be dreaming......

    Sounds like a plan!

    Both Monday or Saturdays are good for me. :)

    I'm going to cut it off at 9pm next week. And see if I can make it earlier for subsequent weeks. :)

    Hi, everyone! I'm in.
    It's one of my 2 worst weakness. The other is eating food I shouldn't on special events: birthdays, meetings, vacations. I went to the beach a month ago and I gained the 6.6 lbs I had lost. It took me almost 3 months to lose weight and it all broke down.

    I'm trying to get back on my feet.

    How does it work?

    Do we stay in touch for support?

    Best of luck!

    Have a great day.

    Coming back from vacation, so my check in is a little late.
    I didn't eat last night after dinner - I think eating everything at dinner so I'm not hungry again and going to bed at 10 AM, before I get hungry again, helped.
    Time to get the show back on the road!
