‘Stop Eating After 7pm’ Challenge

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)

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.

How did you get on and are you still not eating after 7pm? I really need to get on board with this!
 
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.
 
18:15 tonight.
As a point of interest, does any else experience a delay in feeling full? I'm only just starting to feel so now, nearly an hour after eating. In fact I'm feeling so full I shouldn't have eaten so much and wish I'd known so earlier
 
Finished at 6:20 tonight.

@MrsA2 it only takes me 20 minutes to feel full and sometimes I have to remind myself of this if I fancy pudding. If I can wait that long I usually can give it a miss. But never an hour. If I feel uncomfortable I sip very hot water with ginger and lemon in it and this helps with digestion.
