MAY "No Late Night Snacking" Challenge

Just wanted to check in let ya know I made it through night 3 last night. I haven't forgotten but I don't have time to read posts and reply lately!

Ladies, you are doing great! I love seing everyone starting over whenever they fall. To me, this is what this thread is about. The courage and perseverance to get back on track. I hope you guys all agree, Zaza is truly inspirational in this respect. So hang on in there and be back each time!

As for me, I'm travelling again. It seems, though, that my pants have gotten looser. Yeppy! :drinker: I was so tired the past days, that I didn't feel like putting things in my mouth, other than drinking plenty of water. I don't get this very often, au contraire - sleeping less usually makes me crave for bad stuff. I think, though, that things are slowly getting back to normal .

:flowerforyou: keep up the good work, everyone!

Hello, would you take a mid-month joiner? This looks like something that would really really help me. I am such an emotional eater at night, although I think it's half habit at this point. First it was a treat after I put my son to bed, then I just kept doing it.

I have read through the posts and love how you can start over if you eat. You all seem very supportive of each other. Even now, I've been on here 3 weeks, and after I put my last entry in the Food diary. There is often more I am not recording. I know I'll be facing the challenge tonight, because I'm feeling cranky today. My son is at his dad's and there's nothing on TV tonight. I eat a ton when my son's not there, because I am lonely (that'd be my guess anyway).

So, my cut off will be 8:30pm. Thanks, and I hope it's ok to join ;-).

Mine will be no eating 2 hours prior to my bed time! (Since bed time changes)

Day 1 starts tonight. I fell off the wagon again. Am I the only one who frequently does that??!!:sad:
This week I will eat nothing but healthy stuff, because the pool is opening next Sat.!!!!!!!!:noway:
You guys look like you're doing great! Keep it up!

The last two nights I went over the time, and the calories too. I actually ate twice as much as I was "allowed". I feel so horrible.
Please let me tell you what's going on, I have nobody to really say this and maybe if I do say it, I can work on it, work with it....
My daughter was born with a brainstem only. She wasn't suppose to survive, but she did, she wronged all doctor's "time line" for her. She is non-mobile, non-verbal, blind, has a shunt, a feeding tube. She's a doll, but lately, she's absolutely, beyond words miserable (or maybe, lets be honest here, again...). All she does is screams, while all the tests show nothing and she can't tell what's wrong. I stay up all night with her, she's in a trans, she sounds like some beast mauling her. I go to work, almost sick from being exhausted. I'm a single parent as my husband of almost 10 years decided this was too much to handle and walked out 2 years ago on his kids : a 9 year old, a 4 year old, and a 3 year old. ("She" is the 4 year old). I can't afford not to go to work; I refuse not to give a real life for the "other two" (so we are in baseball, gymnastics and doing family stuff on the weekends even if all I want is to lay down and let my mind and body shut off).
As the evening comes, and my daughter's screaming gets even wilder, I often turn to food as if it will make it go away. I'm glad I don't ever turn to drinks, it would be only too easy to block out my own thoughts. I don't even know what should I pray for anymore; I don't understand how can a little innocent girl suffer so much; I'm ashamed to say I don't know how long shall I fight for her life. This is the truth and I hush them with desserts, because if someone has to judge me, I rather be called someone who doesn't know when to stop eating, than a mother who can't help her child and shamefully starting to give up on hope.
Thank you so much for giving me space to confess.

I've failed another night. I so hate this. According to th calculator if I'm keep eating like this, not just that I will gain all weight back, but gain another 10 pounds. But when the eve comes I have nothing in my mind, but taking another bite, doesn't even matter what of. I really hate this. Why do I keep doing it??????????????

I think I've made it through 8 nights now? I'm not very good at counting but I know that I'm saying no to late night snacking more often than not, so I'm happy. Great job to the others who are making it and to those who slip up but come back! :flowerforyou:

Last night I finally stopped eating at 8 o'clock. Back on track? Keeping my fingers crossed for tonight.

ildi007, you are so wonderful! :flowerforyou:

Zaza, I for one, am not sick of your resets. But maybe I should get mad at you , just enough to make you stick to your place once and for all :grumble: . However, I still see you as an example to all those who drop this challenge, just cos they have to restart every too often. It's like saying "hey, people, look at Zaza, she never gives up!". Yet, Zaza, get yourself together! :grumble:

As for me, I'm following your example and I think I am ready to hop on (provided after all said above, I'm still accepted in the gang ). So.... cut-off will be 9p.m. Here we go .

I wonder if grammymax dropped because she turned this int oa habbit or if she's doing allright.

And where are Wanda and Kirsti? (maybe they are here and it was just me who had vanished :blushing: )
