Ok, I am clearly the weakest link here folks since I keep falling off! My problem is that I know how to quickly lose the weight so I let myself indulge and then go back to losing the few pounds then adding back the few pounds never able to successfully lose these last 5-8 lbs!!! So what always works for me is to hit my…

I had an extremely late dinner and it was a social dinner so I couldn't just say, "I'm going to bed!" Needless to say, I didn't snack post and didn't overeat so I guess I made it another night! SO GLAD TO SEE JAFRAY BACK!!! :happy: Latest Check-ins: 23 days: kitten349 11 days: rlstepp29 6 days: Bo 4 days: Artype 3 days:…

@Debby: Welcome! You are absolutely the decider of whether you were successful or not. This group was formed bc the general consensus is that many of us eat either way too much in the night or eat when it's too late and out of habit and not bc we're hungry. To check-in, just come on this thread, and let the group know…

Welcome to everyone new to our thread! I made it another night (Night 4)!!!! Feeling like I might be steadily back on this wagon! @Kitten: It is baffling quite honestly. But artype makes a good point about your body possibly thinking it's in starvation mode and fighting like he** to maintain weight. Or are you down to…

***POST FOR NEWBIES*** Goal: Establish what bad habit you are trying to break and stick to it for 3-weeks/21 days (the amount of time studies have shown it takes to break a bad habit) Check-in/Accountability: Check in everyday onto the "Check-in" thread and report whether you were successful THE NIGHT BEFORE and what…

Made it through last night!!! It was so tough cause I couldn't fall asleep, was watching shows, and craving a lil' snack! But didn't! :smile: @ JHLOVES: You're totally right about 21 days isn't quite enough to fight off a bad habit that was developed over years and years and years! Here's to making it another 21-days!…

Congrats gxmiller, jhloves, & kitten for accomplishing your 21-days yesterday! You guys are such an inspiration! I too want to really thank this group for keeping me accountable even if I have not reached my 21-days YET! Every time I've fallen off, (which is one too many), I find myself needing to get back up and come back…

Well, I'm done sulking and pouting and am returning to what worked for me when I first started...reading this thread whenever I felt tempted! I need to remind myself that I'm focusing on one goal only which is not mindlessly eating/snacking. Sometimes I get on myself for not exercising or for overeating but if I can just…

I feel extremely discouraged bc I messed it up again last night. I want to get myself back to the streak I had (and beyond!) :sad: But...myy hats off to GXMILLER & JHLOVES - tonight will mark 2 weeks!!! @JAFRAY: All I can say is, for me, it has been really hard to get back on the wagon once you've fallen off. Here are the…

equallyyoked: I think stopping the moment you realized you were mindlessly snacking totally counts! Made it last night despite my many cravings but I may have to restart again after tonight. Going to a comedy show late tonight with friends and it's pretty standard for us to go eat afterwards so...we'll see! Here are the…

Gxmiller got me through last night!!! As my mind was intensely focusing on snacking on some healthy yet unnecessary kale chips, his post came on and bam, my mind refocused on watched TV rest of the night w/o snacks! woot! Thanks, G!

@Kitten Great idea to check what it is you are eating. You're probably not eating enough or lacking some nutrients. Or I discovered (the next morning) why I couldn't resist my craving the night I broke my 11 day streak - many women can prob relate but oh yes, every month, the day or 2 before, I get intense sweet cravings.…

Thanks rlstepp! You're a great model! :wink: @Jafray: I agree with you completely that on some nights (like last night for me) it can be totally difficult but for me, there has been other nights when I didn't struggle at all. Prior to taking up this challenge, more or less every night, I would snack mindlessly in front of…

Well…I'm starting over today :angry: Went to a super late movie last night and had an entire roll of crackers! I couldn't log on to get encouragement/motivation at the time! My hats off to you, equallyyoked for resisting! But no worries, I'm getting back on today and I will make it to 21 days!!!! I'm proud of myself for…

On my 11th night I'm discovering, my stomach has shrunk...& I don't mean my waist-size, I literally get full way faster than before. This is a good thing, I haven't binged for at least 11 days so I guess my stomach is adjusting! I enjoyed some naughty food for brunch (wings & beer) while watching the soccer games & have…

Ok jafray, you're my inspiration. You go to the river and successfully make it through, I'm going to the beach and I'm gonna make it through! I want to hit the 2 week mark!!!!! I can't wait to check on tomorrow's thread cause there will be 4 more folks joining the 1 week mark club!! woot! woot!:drinker: I didn't eat dinner…

@rlstepp & everyone: I think it will take us more than 21 days to actually hit 21 consecutive days of breaking a habit we've been doing for a very very looooooong time. The key is getting back on by being gentle with ourselves and not punishing ourselves for lapsing into an old habit. So my hats off to you rlstepp. My…

Tonight, I failed to some degree bc I didn't stop myself from eating when I was full but I didn't overdo it either. I also wasn't eating out of boredom (my weakness and bad habit); I followed a new recipe for a black bean and corn burger that was soooooooo delicious, I had an extra patty! But no post-dinner snacking for me…
