    Day two under my belt...barely. I had a meeting from 7:30 until my cutoff time (9 p.m.) and then promised my daughter I'd watch a movie with her as she has no school tomorrow. She was eating yummy caramel popcorn and a peppermint milkshake. I had to keep reminding myself not to take "just one bite". Of course, when I woke up for work this morning at 3 a.m., I was more than ready for something in my belly. But day two done. Hope you all are doing well. Fill up on yummy stuff today.

    :smile: :smile:

    Day 1 down :drinker:. I finished dinner a little bit past 9, but I stayed with my dinner plan and had no more food afterwards. It was a bit over 2hrs before going to bed, so I am happy with the new start :smile:.

    :smile: :smile: :smile: Finished day 3. Of course, it helped that I was in bed by 8, one hour before my cut off time :wink:

    BTW, thank you to ALL of you for this post. It has helped me so much. I'm actually finding the pounds slowly but surely come off and am feeling more energetic in the morning by not eating so late at night (I get up at 3 a.m. for work, so any little bit of energy help). So THANK YOU for all your posts and support.

    I wasn't feeling well last night, so I could not stick with the plan. At least I wasn't eating just for the fun of it :smile:
    lulabellewoowoo, you are inspirational! :flowerforyou:
    Where's everyone else? It wasn't such a great idea to start this right before Thanksgiving, right? Nevermind, just take it from there, there's not such thing here as "I missed one day, I'm giving up". Watch me constantly fail and you'll see why this thread still exists :D.

    We never do anything for T-Day (not really holiday people) so yesterday was fine for me. The weekends are really my biggest downfall. It's like Friday hits....and I automatically start craving pizza and breaksticks. Actually, I think I may be a little bit more successful after a slip up. It's like I'm mad at myself or something so then I'm good for awhile.

    Well, i feel like a *kitten*! I was reading this post and i got hungry! I tried for 30mins not to eat and my dumb butt went with a cup of rice crispy cereal! Whata jerk! I really need to try this but i dont see how it will work. like the rest of you ladies im great all day and when it hits 8pm its like a little evil character comes in my mind and waves twinkies, cereal and all that bad "undo your day" food! Heeellpp. I feel even worse because its a lack of self controll! Whats a women to do???

    :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: Day four down. Now for the dreaded weekend.

    I'm trying something new. I have my alarm set for 9 o'clock (my cutoff time). Then I keep snoozing it for ten minutes for the rest of the evening until I go to bed. If after about 30 minutes, if I'm home, and I still feel munchy, I try and go to bed because usually I'm just tired or bored.

    I see a lot of you have like 8 o'clock cut offs. This week I've been doing well with 9 o'clock, so I keep thinking that I should make it earlier, but why fix something that isn't broken. So for all of you who may be struggling, why not put your cut off time 30 minutes LATER. If that doesn't work, then start with an hour. Then if you are successful with that for a week, then start decreasing it by maybe 15 minutes until you get to where you want to. Like exercise and healthy eating, small changes usually mean big successes. Just a thought as I'm going through my own week.

    I hope you all have a GREAT WEEKEND with family and friends!

    I finally got one under my belt! :laugh: :laugh: Last night we had a late dinner, so I think that helped. Dinner at 9 and nothing after 10 except for a couple peices of gum... that doesn't count right??

    Going for two consecutive days tonight.. woot! Great job to all of you, keep it up!
