‘Stop Eating After 7pm’ Challenge

[LivingLightly]

We met the 7.00 pm deadline comfortably on Tuesday evening and I still feel pleasantly full at well past my bedtime.

Good night all.

I finished by 5:35 this evening.

Still within the cutoff time though @filly

By 6 tonight...except for a biscuit at a meeting at 8 and 4 grapes and 4 walnut halves at 10....because they were on the kitchen counter. I usually manage not to snack by not having any snacks available (which includes not going into the kitchen of an evening)

Rose to the challenge once again on Wednesday evening and met our self-imposed 6.00 pm target. I still felt pleasantly full at bedtime.

Who will join me?

I intend to do this for the rest of January- 10 days and hopefully I’ll have broken the habit by then and carry on.

I‘m not hungry, I suspect I’m bored and it’s becoming a habit. So I thought if there were a few of us that struggle with this it would be good to record our successes and make suggestions on how we coped.

@LivingLightly?

How did you get on and are you still not eating after 7pm? I really need to get on board with this!

Hi welcome @Sable_Wolf yes stuck to it most of the time. I’ve gone over the 7pm deadline a few times with the main meal but it’s definitely stopped the snacking.

I honestly believe, if you are a night owl, then four hours before bed is just as good.

I am a night Owl too usually finish my evening meal by 7 then most of the time I am not hungry until lunchtime the next day.

Try having a slightly larger more filling meal, then mentally stop! Close the kitchen, get rid of snacks so there's no temptation.
It is easier to build new habits than you think.
Seeing bg get lower is very motivating
And join in here for peer group support.

We're boringly predictable and still hanging in there. Met the 7.00 pm deadline comfortably on Thursday evening and I still feel pleasantly full at well past bedtime.

Good night all. Sleep well.

On Friday evening, we ate a little earlier once again and were fed and watered by 6.00 pm. I'm still feeling pleasantly full and it's well past my bedtime.

Night all.
