This is my ULTIMATE WEAKNESS!!!!!! I work out 2 a days most of the time, extra long workouts on the weekends. I plan my lunches for my office job, fulfilling healthy dinners for the family, always save plaenty of calories for dinner, but somehow I end up eating almost EVERYNIGHT! Usually not even hunger eating, which really pisses me off! lol! It is like if I start, I just can't stop. I rationalize, and make myself *burn it off tomorrow* promises....Ughhhh I need to be part of this topic0

I did not snack again!! This accountability is working. I'm under points and finishing a blanket project.

Hi-
It took me awhile to find this thread. Thanks for starting the April challenge! I was doing well, but Easter week-end threw me off.

This is working one day at a time0 -
Are there any basic rules - I tend to not use my allowance and then get something before bed and I know it's not good - I'll give this a try.0

I guess the "basic" rules are that if you are late-night snacking when:
a) you have no calories left in your daily alotment; and
b) you aren't making GOOD choices of your snacks
then the point goes to LNS.
However, if you are purposefully eating late-night to get all your (nutrition-focused) calories in, that's not a bad thing - and, in fact, is encouraged.
For me, I *know* the difference between BAD LNS and LNS which is happening to finish my daily calories....

Thanks Beeps, I'm not too bad I think then. I started a week ago and think I've made a bit of a mess of things - most days I didn't make my calorie Target, which I know is not a good thing - apart from Easter Sunday of course!! I went a bit mad on desert after dinner, but my one and only Easter Egg is sitting in my room and I'm scared to open it!! Ha! I have some mild mobility issues but am making a concerted effort to increase excercise - I know my metabolism has taken a bashing and I really need to kickstart it, but I was worrying about the lns - usually toast or a sandwich and then either herbal tea or a milky drink. Want to try and make sure that I have all my nutrients in before maybe 10pm at hte latest (tend to stay up very late too, another unhealthy habit!)0

I would like to know what others do in this situation: I get up at 3:30 am. I drive about 40 miles to and from work, about an hour each way. I get home from work around 4:30 pm. I get on the treadmill as quickly as I can. I walk/run for an hour, sometimes a little more. This puts me at around 5:30, 5:45 pm. I then try to eat a light dinner around 6:00 pm. I go to bed around 8:00 pm (to get up at 3:30 am this gives me about 7 1/2 hours of sleep). Is this hurting my weight loss because sometime I will eat a snack before bed time if I have the calories left to do so....btw I have been stuck at 146 pounds for the last three weeks...0

This would be so helpful, its my downfall! x0

Sounds great! I'm horrible at night, I finally get all the kids tucked in, clean up dinner dishes, and have some "me" time! I can rationalize nearly any snack with something! Then, of course, regret it, especially when I had a good day. First thing I do any time I feel a crave (day or night ) is drink a glass of water, then if it's still there, I try the brushing teeth thing. Also have tried sipping on green tea. :smokin:0

cindy - in my opinion, it doesn't matter WHEN you eat your daily calories....so long as you are getting ALL of them in - and that you are making appropriately healthy choices with your calorie alotment. So, what your schedule permits, sounds perfectly fine, to me.
(I often have calories left at the end of the day....so, I usually aim for a protein to satisfy my calories, and the macros I have entered for myself.)
I don't drink anything past 6:30 pm, or I end up having to make trips to the bathroom throughout my sleep - and I lose too much sleep because of this (as I have trouble getting back to sleep).

This is my downfall too. Looking for motivation and support from others going through the same issue....Count me in!!0
