    I am in - late night snacking is my downfall all the time - once I start sometimes it is hard to stop

    I fell into a bag of mini-m&ms. I had put them in the freezer to hide them, and then made the horrible discovery that they actually taste much better frozen. I didn't go over the serving size or my calories, but since I didn't plan them into my food diary while the sun was up, I'm counting it as a late night snacking fail.

    I did not get dinner on the table till 7:30 last night so i ended up having my reward cookie after 9pm i should not have had it at all. but i did plan for it. it was just much later than i planned.

    I've been doing pretty good! I did eat last night, but I had just taken a long walk and was hungry.

    Well, we had a late dinner (9PM) on Saturday but no snacks... This challenge has been easy for me fortunately, I am not a late snacker usually.

    Wow, I just ruined my day with a handful of Oreo cookies tonight, and then I read this topic. I'm in for the challenge.
    I must find something else to relax when my kids go to bed...

    LNS has always been clawing at my back for much to long. Yesterday, I did amazing with food and exercise. I came home from Zumba, had a light snack and was set for the day. THEN....I started to make my husband's lunch and the picking began. And when it was over, I had one cheese stick and 1/4lb of sliced roast beef.....ugh

    So need help with LNS. :sad: :yawn: :mad: :cry:

    I'm joining for sure! I eat so healthily during the day, but when 10 pm rolls around, I eat every sugary, high calorie thing in sight!!

    I only had one apple after my cut-off! I am so proud of me, hehe.

    I forgot to mention: my cut-off is 8 p.m.

    Beeps, thank for the welcome - I was hoping for some cheering, hehe.

    SlidingDown, welcome to the "climbing up the hill" club ;). Looking forward to your reports - I am confident that you can do it!
    So can you, cklarue and equinehugger3 - it's all a matter of consistency and of dragging yourself back in the "reporting mode" even when you feel you've lost the battle. That keeps the awareness active, :wink:.

    Good luck to all, old and new :flowerforyou:

    Actually seeing a loss for the first time in weeks today has reconfirmed it - I have been sabotaging myself with LNS. Time to keep on trucking!

    Plunder - it's funny, but it's the same thing for me. LOTS of people can eat late, without fretting....I cannot and my body FREAKS on me when I do!!

    dewdrop - 8 p.m. can be an *early* cut-off time, especially if you still have calories to get in and even MORE especially if you are eating a HEALTHY snack.
