Just for tonight, I will not snack....

Have eaten healthy and truly tasty meals today. Ended up eating a donut ( not the end of the world- I enjoyed it) this afternoon; wish I hadn't, but can't go back. Went for a walk at 6:00 a.m.

Still within my calorie range for the day. Had all my fluids and drinking more. Totally satisfied, appetite wise...so why must I fill the nights with snacking?

Just for tonight, I will not snack. I'll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

So cool.....

"One day at a time, one meal at a time...". Is my mantra. I can't change what already was, but I can move forward.

I love this post - Just for tonight. It's not forever, it's just for tonight. I need to start using this - I have an all or nothing, black or white personality - perfectionist - which sets up binging if I eat 1 morsel outside of plan. I could use a just for tonight attitude!!

I did not snack last night... nights/evenings are the worst for me and I will admit that last night, was the first time in weeks, if not months, that I did NOT snack after dinner. I slept better.. didn't wake up every hour or so.. felt better this morning.

I have the same tendencies as you, tdball.. all or nothing, but, mostly all lately. I have been SO out of control...

I want to thank you for your recent posts as I am benefitting from all the advice that your are getting too.

I eat Late Night Snack every day - just before bed. For me it has to be fat+ proteins + little carbs - in easy to digest form (i.e. 1.5 oz nuts, or nut butter)

That way - my body slowly digest and absorb that during the night and I don't get low BS in a middle of the night. I try the no snack after ..7pm. and would end up with low BS very often.

I gave up. I now eat late at night and compensate by not eating until 10-or 12... (depends what time i ate before bed- - I give myself a window of 12-14 hrs between the last meal/snack at night to the next meal in am...) That works best for my "silly" pouch and my system... When I tried to force myself to eat breakfast - I still wanted to eat at night and wudl go over my calories for the day. I now found a way to work with - not against my body.. (eating in the morning hours gives me nausea more than not...)
