Last night was really hard. I didn't get home til 8:30 and I was starving. I can't let myself ever get that hungry again. I wanted to snack really bad. Instead I drank a bottle of water ate dinner and waited and hour. The urge to snack didn't leave, so in order to not further temp myself I got off the sofa and went up stairs. I knew my lazy self would not walk back down the stairs for a snack. So that's what I'm going to try to do from now on drink a bottle of water then head up stairs when the cravings start.

I AM IN!!!!
This is what I struggle with....
So did awesome until the kid went to bed (Hubs is out of town this week). After that I had 3 Oreos, 1 graham cracker (with pb)... and I was already at my calorie limit..... I finally went to bed.....
Ugh!
So, I guess that would make it:
Me: 0
LNS: 1

Last night substitued video games for snacking! Kept my hands busy and my mind occupied. Interestingly, I found it was a great way to relieve the stress of the work day when I named the enemy characters.

I nearly had to go over my cut-off time....I gobbled sweet raw cherries as close to that time as I could - so it goes in the "W" column because I was still short on my calories for the day!0 -
I can completelty relate to this, I am guilty of eating so well during the day & staying positive but then night hits & I instantly go to the kitchen and start snacking on sweets :-(
I need to start this challenge asap! :-)0 -
So glad I saw this topic! I (almost every night) give in around 9pm and eat cookies. Starting this challenge tonight!0

Any night which goes according to you plan gives you (i.e. "Me") 1 point. The point for every night in which the evil LNS win obviously has to go to them :grumble: . So say you do awesome the first night :glasses: - this will then be:
Me: 1 - LNS: 0
and so on.
It's never to late . Welcome :flowerforyou:0 -
Thank you for the warmth invitation. This should help me stay more focus!0

I know that I am starting late, but I have a serious problem with late night snacking because my fiance doesn't get home until 1230am... I have been doing better because I used to eat dinner at that time with him, but now when he gets home he eats and it makes me hungry again too... so I snack. But starting today, I am going to fight that urge to snack so late!
My cutoff time for the rest of June will be 10pm. In July, I will shoot for 9pm for my cutoff time!0 -

Our competition is a friendly one, so it's not too late to join, at every point of the month. Plus, you can take this as training for July .
There's two approaches to LNS: either you eat *nothing* past your cut-off time or you eat a *healthy* snack. Since for me the latter ends up by putting bad stuff in my mouth, I have to go by the first (I do allow myself exceptions - see my post below, but as a rule I need to stay away from any food). If you're stronger than me, then you could have a healthy snack (try to stay away from carbs) or sip on tea/milk, so that you still join your fiance while he reports on how his working day went. You just have to figure out what works best for you :flowerforyou: .0 -

Almost forgot to log in and report that it has gotten easier for me not to think about LNS. I am glad others are taking the challenge! It really works to be ACCOUNTABLE!! If at first you don't succeed...try try again :drinker: Debbie0 -
After finishing the cooking for the next day, I tasted the boiled broccoli last night. As I was doing it, I realized it tasted too good to be real, so I must've gotten a bit hungry (I wonder why, I had a good dinner 2hrs before). I also realized that there was some desert in the fridge that I could have just a tiny slice of :smokin: (temptation, sweet temptation).
So I did not put anything anymore in my mouth for the night :drinker: :
Me: 14* - LNS: 50
